Conseils sur place
- For the best surf conditions, check the reports for specific breaks like Snapper, Burleigh, or Duranbah—they can vary dramatically along the coast.
- Buy a multi-park pass if visiting more than two theme parks; it offers significant savings compared to single-day tickets.
- Parking is expensive and limited in Surfers Paradise. Use the G:link tram, buses, or ride-shares to get around the central tourist strip.
