The large screen is one of the main features. It airs the local Gold Coast Channel 9 news in the evening.

Woolworths supermarket is also located at Circle on Cavill. This Woolworths outlet is large and there is a variety of items to choose from.

Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets

The Beachfront Markets definitely earns a spot on the must-see list in Gold Coast. Iconic to Surfers Paradise, the Markets is illuminated not only with lights, but with its character.

Home to all kinds of products from delicious goodies to awesome memorabilia, this night market has so much to offer. Locally made (and baked) produce is definitely one of the highlights. 

Visiting the market is free-of-charge. With so many stalls to visit, it is relaxing to take some time and walk around the market area. There are many families and tourists around, so it has a nice buzz. Being located next to the beach is a unique trait of this market.

The Beachfront Markets is held every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 5pm to 10pm, but do note that the market may be closed on certain days, depending on circumstances such as the weather.

Surfers Paradise Beach in the evening

Surfers Paradise Beach is not only enjoyable during day time, but it also looks fantastic as the sun goes down and night falls. Lifeguards are packing up and visitors are enjoying themselves, watching the sunset.

 

 

At night, the steps leading to the sand on the beach is lighted up in blue lights. The blue lights fit the theme of the sea, following its colour.

 

The area towards the sea is dark, but the entrance of Surfers Paradise Beach is bright. Cavill Avenue, which is opposite the beach, is lighted up brightly.

Buildings around Surfers Paradise in the evening

Ferny Avenue – that’s where these beautiful scenes are from. Specifically, they’re the scenes from one of the rooms on the 19^th floor in Vibe Hotel. Standing at the balcony in the evening, you realise that Surfers Paradise is well-connected when you walk through the different buildings around. Illuminated by the bright city lights and seaside sunset, it is pleasurable walking on the streets of Surfers Paradise and safe too. Unlike some other tourist destinations in Australia, shops and restaurants in Surfers Paradise are open past 5pm, especially during the school holidays.

Cavill Avenue later in the evening

During the school holidays, there are more families out and about in Surfers Paradise in the evening, enjoying their break. The remaining term breaks in 2013 are 23 September to 7 October and 16 December to 27 January 2014.
