Southport Facts and Figures
Southport is regarded as the Gold Coast's business district yet the rows of tree-lined streets and long established gardens harmonise the area with a good-natured mood.
Sociable locals are always found enjoying the surroundings on their way to and from work in the commercial hub of the city. An inviting array of restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs have successfully developed around the business centre to cater for the hard working population.
