As COAST Residences in Surfers Paradise moves steadily toward completion, anticipation is building not just for the building itself, but for the lifestyle that comes with it.

With settlement scheduled for November, owners are about to step into one of the Gold Coast’s most vibrant, connected and experience-rich coastal precincts.

One of the defining features of living in Surfers Paradise is the ease of access to events that blend coastal living with culture, entertainment, and community connection. From sunrise markets to sunset fireworks, the area surrounding COAST offers something for every lifestyle.

For those planning their move, now is the perfect time to start exploring what’s on the doorstep. Here are some standout events that residents can expect to enjoy.

The Coastal Markets Broadbeach
1st and 3rd Sunday of each month
A short distance from COAST is one of the Gold Coast’s most relaxed beachfront markets. The Coastal Markets in Broadbeach transform Kurrawa Park into a lively beachside village of artisan stalls, fresh produce, handmade goods, fashion, and gourmet street food. It’s the kind of weekly ritual that quickly becomes part of your lifestyle—coffee in hand, ocean breeze in the air, and live acoustic music setting the tone for a slow Sunday morning.

SeaFire – Surfers Paradise Sky Show
20 June
Few events capture the energy of coastal living quite like SeaFire. Held right on the Surfers Paradise foreshore, this iconic annual winter event combines fireworks, music, and pyrotechnic displays launched from barges offshore.
As night falls, the sky and sea become the stage for one of Australia’s most spectacular free fireworks shows, and from COAST you will have a front-row seat.

Beach Tennis Open
9-12 July
If you’re drawn to an active, outdoor lifestyle, the Beach Tennis Open is a perfect reflection of the Gold Coast’s sporting culture. Set against the backdrop of golden sand and blue skies, this fast-growing international sport brings together athletes and spectators in a vibrant beachfront setting.

Groundwater Country Music Festival
16-18 October
As spring arrives, Broadbeach transforms into a live music destination during the Groundwater Country Music Festival. Featuring multiple outdoor stages and beachfront venues, the festival brings together major Australian and international country music talent.

While COAST’s November settlement date is drawing closer, the opportunity is clear: start exploring your new lifestyle today.
