Main Beach

Main Beach is a coastal locality on the Gold Coast with high-rise buildings rising behind a line of Norfolk Island Pines along the shore. The area stretches along the seafront with the Nerang River mouth on one side and open beach on the other.

The area was originally called Southport East and remained a sand strip separating the river mouth from the sea until recent development. Modern buildings and infrastructure transformed it from a natural sandy barrier into a populated suburb.

Tedder Avenue serves as the gathering place where locals and visitors meet at outdoor cafés and shops facing the beach. The street shows how people here blend everyday activities with access to the sea.

The Gold Coast Oceanway offers a separate path for walking and cycling along the coast. Beach access points are scattered throughout the area, and parking is available near main streets.

The Southport Yacht Club Marina and Sea World marine park occupy the northern end and draw visitors daily. These locations show how the area blends recreation and tourism with coastal life.
