Not at all.

Hi Audreyma - You can definitely visit Surfers Paradise beach all year round and people do swim and surf year-round. It depends on how warm you like the water to be. In August, the water temperatures are at their coldest as we are in winter and will range around 19-22 degrees celsius. It's lovely to walk on the beach as we have many beautiful sunny days. We hope that helps!

Hi Sonali B The Gold Coast Oceanway is a 36km stretch of pathways from The Spit to Coolongatta and which will go along the Esplanade at Surfers Paradise. The views are amazing and will be beautiful by bicycle - enjoy! The team at Surfers Paradise Alliance

Haven’t seen any. The waves are pretty high, they don’t like that environment. You can find some at Sea World though. Not to swim with, but look, feed, take pictures.

Hi there Excursion452508 Definitely Surfers Paradise! There is always something on in Surfers Paradise, from great free events, The Beachfront Markets, fun family attractions, and an array of dining and accommodation options to suit all budgets. And you can't beat Surfers Paradise Beach! We hope to see you soon. The team at Surfers Paradise Alliance

Hi Iseult007 The closest public bbqs to Surfers Paradise Beach are at: Eileen Peters Park, Trickett Street. Thanks The team at Surfers Paradise Alliance

There is only a pool service.

No, there are shark nets up the entire coast of this area.

There are lockers near 'go ride a wave' surf school which is next to mcDonald at surfer paradise. I believe you can use them.
