Paradise Point

Paradise Point is a sweet suburb at the northern end of the Gold Coast. Its size and position have helped it to maintain a village feel. The suburb lies on the Broadwater and has direct access to the Coomera River. It is well serviced by boat ramps and marinas. The Sovereign Islands and Ephraim Island are the latest developments in the suburb of Paradise Point. The area is protected from the ocean by South Stradbroke Island which lies off the coast. Hollywell sits directly south of Paradise Point bordering Runaway Bay.

Prior to its subdivision and development, Paradise Point was a quiet fishing spot. After World War 2, approximately 200 hectares of this land became Paradise Point, and was owned by Ralph Falkinder.

In 1953, a new development featured an Esplanade, parks, playgrounds and a shopping district, which you will now recognise as the iconic Paradise Point Esplanade on the Broadwater.

By 1954, a year later, 3 houses had been built and there were plans for a shop and boating business. Over the next few years Paradise Point really started to boom, with more houses being built, electricity poles and power lines being installed, and over 300 total lots of land sold.

Paradise Point started to become known as the perfect holiday home location.
