Known affectionately as “Broadie” to locals, this suburb was once in the shadow of the more popular Surfers Paradise, but it has since been loaded with amenities. The Pacific Fair shopping centre makes its home here, and Broadbeach Mall is a favourite haunt of street artists and foodies. The Star Casino is currently undergoing a massive renovation as well.
