Appel Park

It’s not only such an amazing place to enjoy the sunset but also a ferry stop. Moreover, there are public toilets adjacent to the ferry ticket office. In my opinion, the waterfront landscape in the Gold Coast is highly underrated and I suggest you check out at least once, especially when the weather is good.

A small but beautiful little park at the heart of Surfers Paradise. You’ll enjoy a stroll walk or sit by the side overlooking the river. There is fireworks show too on Australia Day or New Year. You might see a rainbow or two on a rainy day. On a great day, you’ll experience one of the most breathtaking sunsets. Here are some of mine to share with 😊

Beautiful and peaceful spot. I suggest chilling here for sunset on the off peak seasons away from holidays or schoolies. Nice spot to unwind after work. It overlooks the Nerang river. West Surfers pavilion is the building on the right.

Small but just the right size. Has playground at the lower end of the park. A few people sit by river and eat lunch, read magazines etc Lovely views of Nerang River. See pics. Right next to helm bar and bistro.

It truly is a wonderful park to create memories with loved ones, the beauty of place is something to enjoy; come down and share a romantic sunset or even feed the fish and swans

We had our sisters 60th Birthday lunch on the cruise and it was just delish The staff were fantastic Will be back

Very peaceful and relaxing area to sit down with pretty views of the city scape. There are ferries from here to other parts of Gold Coast and toilets near by.
