Discover the Gold Coast from new heights

Begin your visit at one of Australia's most iconic towers, the Q1, where you'll ascend to the SkyPoint Observation Deck high above the coastline. This renowned platform promises unbeatable perspectives of the Gold Coast region, stretching from the lush southern landscapes of Byron Bay to the distant northern reach of Stradbroke Island.

Arriving at SkyPoint

Your experience starts with a thrilling elevator ride, taking you to the 77th floor at remarkable speed. As the doors open, the floor-to-ceiling glass surrounds you with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, golden beaches and the bustling cityscape below, offering a striking contrast between natural beauty and modern urban design.

Panoramic viewing

SkyPoint is unique as Australia’s only observation deck on the beach, positioned perfectly for all-day viewing. Each direction reveals a new aspect of the Gold Coast—from the vibrant lights of Surfers Paradise to the tranquil hinterland beyond. Watch as sunlight dances over ocean waves during the day or catch the dazzling shifts as evening arrives and the city is set aglow.

Interactive learning and unique adventures

Explore interactive touch screens scattered throughout the deck, giving detailed insights into local landmarks and the rich history of this renowned area. The technology helps visitors identify major points of interest—perfect for both first-time tourists and returning explorers.

For thrill seekers, SkyPoint also offers the SkyPoint Climb—the highest external building climb in Australia. Here, intrepid adventurers can step outside and scale the iconic spire for an unforgettable dose of adrenaline and even more impressive open-air views (upgrade required).

Amenities and comfort

Take time to relax in the contemporary lounge, where you can purchase refreshments to enjoy while admiring the city’s ever-changing panorama. Ample seating and modern design make this a perfect break spot after exploring the expansive observation area.
