Palm Beach Guide
Food scene
Walk to the beach, then head North (left) up the beach until you get to the yellow life-guard tower - there's a beautiful little coffee nook here where you can sit right on the beach (best location in GC I reckon!). Note that they don't do full breakfasts, but offer toasties, basic avo on toast etc. The view is unbeatable!

1291 Gold Coast HighwayWalk to the beach, then head North (left) up the beach until you get to the yellow life-guard tower - there's a beautiful little coffee nook here where you can sit right on the beach (best location in GC I reckon!).

Great for groups as they offer a bunch of different in-house 'kitchens' you can order from, i.e. American, Italian, Japanese - with great open-air vibes and good service
