Skypoint Observation Deck Gold Coast Surfers Paradise

Gold Coast . 2012 . Aug 07-13

The Skypoint Observation Deck is situated on level 77 of the Q1 resort, a luxurious residential tower at Surfers Paradise Gold Coast.   This is at a height of about 230m above ground and offers a 360 degrees panoramic view of the coast line of Gold Coast and the Pacific Ocean.  From afar, Q1 is easily identifiable as it is the tallest building in the vicinity and is branded by its spire at its top.

Ticketing counter at the ground floor of Q1.  Tickets can be either bought here or online, but we had voucher from the tourist guide books collected from the airport which gave us 10% off.

 While waiting for the elevator, we snapped some shots of the waiting area.

The high speed elevator brings us to the 77th storey within 45 seconds.  Majestic views greets us at the observation deck.

We recommend going up to the observation deck an hour before sunset, so that you can catch the scenery in daylight, watch the sun set in the horizon and have a night view of Gold Coast.  Alternatively, you could have dinner at the observation deck during sun set.

Having been up there, we would like to recommend visitng Skypoint and have a top of the world view of Gold Coast. Guess if you are not willing to part with your money for a helicopter ride for a aerial view of Gold Coast, this is the next best thing to do! :)
