Mermaid Beach

Edit spot

About

not the best spot on the goldcoast, if your a day traveller from brissy or what not keep going to snappers or duranbah for a better surf. good spot for a holiday though, not far from the surfers night life.

Atmosphere:
the atmosphere here is the way surfing should be, cruisy laid back friendly locals, not to many bodyboarders or jap tourists and a good fun wave given the day.

Additional Info:
check right along the beach eg. miami nobbies broadie surfers for the best spot. dont bring a big crew, dont be a dick. and enjoy your surf without the crowds
