GOLD COAST

Broadbeach and Kurrawa

The often referred-to ‘ Broadbeach area ’ includes Broadbeach, Kurrawa Beach and across the Gold Coast Highway to Pacific Fair and the Star Casino. Both beaches have surf life saving clubs with Kurrawa Surf Club more popular at the southern end, close to the shops, dining precinct and the tall apartment buildings offering holiday accommodation. tinyurl.com/destinationgoldcoast-broadbeach kurrawasurf.com.au

Pacific Fair has all the basics too with supermarkets, department stores, technology stores and includes outlets of many reputable Australian beach brands such as Seafolly, Quicksilver and Billabong. pacificfair.com.au The Star Gold Coast on Broadbeach Island has a relaxing rooftop lounge bar – ‘Nineteen at the Star’ – and is recommended for sipping sundowners. Other outlets include Cucina Vivo, Mei Wei Dumplings, Kiyomi and Imperial at the Star for delicate traditional flavours from Asian cuisine. The hotel also has a casino and spa. star.com.au/goldcoast/restaurants The southern Gold Coast beaches – only a short drive away down the Gold Coast Highway – have a slower more relaxed pace and this adds to the attraction for visitors.

Pacific Fair

Pacific Fair Shopping Centre located on the Gold Coast Highway at Hooker Boulevard has been through a total revamp in recent years. In step with other international retail trends, the centre now has a distinctive area within the complex for high-end fashion brands including names such as Prada, Tiffany, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and Bvlgari.
