Mermaid Beach
Mermaid Beach is one of the Gold Coast’s most coveted seaside strips. Millionaires, not mermaids, reside in this beachfront locale.

Naturally, Mermaid Beach has some of the area’s best dining, ranging from modern Australian to a diversity of Asian cuisines. Check out Mermaid Beach’s collection of 18-hole golf courses and spend the day perfecting your putt. If you haven’t got a spare few million dollars, don’t fret: there are plenty of accommodation options here, from caravan parks to serviced apartments.
