Surfers Paradise, Beach district in Gold Coast, Australia.
The high-rise buildings of Surfers Paradise form a skyline stretching along a 10-kilometer beach with year-round patrolled swimming areas.
James Beattie established the first European settlement in the area during the late 1800s, creating an 80-acre farm near present-day Cavill Avenue.
The Meter Maids, introduced in 1965, walk the streets in gold bikinis as part of a tradition that began with the installation of parking meters.
The suburb connects to surrounding areas through two main public transport options: Kinetic Group bus services and the G:link light rail system.
The SkyPoint Observation Deck in Q1 Tower allows visitors to walk along the building's exterior at a height of 270 meters.
