Find Surfers Paradise. Then drive north along the beach road till you reach a section of road with a river running on your left and beach on the right. Hence this part of the road is called Narrow Neck. Parking where your car can be seen from the water.
Rules |
Zones |
Do not ride in the swimming areas on any of the Gold Coast beaches. These are clearly marked by flags and signs. Start down wind of these flagged areas. Otherwise locals can be unfriendly.
This is the Miami of Australia. With over 30 night clubs, casinos and pubs. Something to suit all tastes. Great place!
