About SkyPoint Observation Deck

Seventy-seven stories above Surfers Paradise, SkyPoint frames the entire Gold Coast coastline in sweeping 360-degree glass. The express lift drops you off in under forty seconds—leaving the street-level rush behind for wide-open Pacific horizons, canal networks, and mounted telescopes. Regulars time their run for late afternoon: grab a cold XXXX GOLD at the window lounge, catch the pastel dusk, and watch the beachside grid light up after dark. Down below, the morning crowd hits the deck for buffet breakfast straight over the crashing surf.

  • 77th-Floor Coastal Panoramas: A high-speed elevator shoots 77 stories in under 40 seconds to floor-to-ceiling glass wrapping the Pacific surf and city canals.
  • Day-to-Dusk Transitions: Late afternoon visits capture daylight views, coastal sunsets, and the twinkling city nightscape from perimeter lounge seating.
  • Sky-High Buffet Breakfast: Window-side morning buffet service pairs coffee and hot breakfast spreads with sweeping ocean vistas.
