Finding the observation deck

SkyPoint is on level 77 of the Q1 building, on the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Surfers Paradise Boulevard, about a six-minute walk from central Surfers Paradise.

• By light rail: the Surfers Paradise G:link station is directly in front of the SkyPoint lobby.
• By car: free visitor parking is under the Q1 building, entered from Hamilton Avenue (height limit 2.2 m), subject to availability.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Toilets for visitors.
• SkyPoint Bistro + Bar, with food from 11:30.
• Displays on the region and high-powered binoculars.
• A souvenir shop at the entrance.

Allow 30 to 45 minutes for the view, or up to two hours with a meal. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

SkyPoint says the observation deck is fully accessible by wheelchair, and disability-accessible parking is available under the Q1 building.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask SkyPoint staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the deck thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Visitors under 18 must stay with a paying adult; after 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays entry is for over-18s only.
• Smoking is not permitted on levels 77 and 78; there is a smoking area at ground level. The dress code is casual by day and smart casual by night, with no swimwear, singlets or thongs.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps keep the deck pleasant for everyone.

SkyPoint Bistro + Bar serves food from 11:30 every day, and the streets of Surfers Paradise below have cafés and restaurants for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: start at the SkyPoint lobby at street level and follow your ticket’s instructions.
• Dress for the deck: the dress code is casual by day and smart casual by night, and a charged phone is useful for photos.
• Leave space to linger: stay for sunset if you can, and look along the beach in both directions.
