Main Beach is a picturesque coastal suburb located at the northern end of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Historically known as Southport East, it has been a popular vacation spot for over a century. The area is bounded by the Coral Sea to the east and the Southport Broadwater to the west, offering stunning views and recreational activities. Main Beach is famous for its long stretch of clear sand, making it ideal for swimming and surfing. It is just a few minutes north of Surfers Paradise, providing easy access to a range of high-end amenities such as luxury hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers.

Today, visitors can enjoy a blend of beach activities, fine dining, and shopping along Tedder Avenue and the Marina Mirage Waterfront.
