One of my favourite places of all was Surfers Paradise, and truthfully – I don’t know why.
I mean, aside of the long long beach that the city rests upon, the gorgeous weather, and bronzed Agonises as far as the eye could see, there wasn’t necessarily anything special about the place. It just had a great vibe.
My girlfriends all decided to give surfing a go while we were there (they're in the picture above, carrying their surf boards down to the beach). However, having learned the ‘Amanda can’t surf and hurts herself trying’ lesson Twice – I decided to explore the city centre instead.
Surfers Paradise is home to lots of great little shops, lots of surfer wear (of course), and probably the most amazing Kabob I have ever had. You know, it’s true what they say – the dirtier the place, the better the food. Because the Kabob Hut next to the main beach – that has no walls, running water, sanitary standards and employs the greasiest oldest pervy-est guy I have ever seen – serves the biggest, most flavourful, and yummiest chicken shwarma known to man.
We stayed in surfers for two days, and actually went back for a third on our way back to Melbourne. It is absolutely worth it, if you love a great night life, sandy beaches for as far as the eye can see, and a great big greasy Kabob served by a great big greasy man.
Destination nutshell:
Flight: On the road trip, baby!
Accom: We stayed in a beachside hostel that was a short drive from the city centre. Around $25 a night. Surfers is a popular tourist destination, so hostels are easy to find and in great locations.
Highlights: Bronzed and beautiful boys boys boys, the beach, the sand, the surf, the waves, Malabu’s Nightclub, and – of course – that big Kabob.
