Resting on the sparkling waters of the Broadwater, Runaway Bay is just minutes from the bright lights of Surfers Paradise. The area encompasses a network of canals and lagoons, making it a popular spot for aquatic activities.

Runaway Bay boasts two sheltered marinas that allow easy access to the islands of Moreton Bay and to the open waters of the Pacific.

The area features premier sporting facilities including a world class athletics track, a fully equipped indoor sports complex, and sporting grounds for soccer, football and netball. The nearby suburbs of Helensvale, Arundel and Hope Island boast international standard resort golf courses for a casual round.

Runaway Bay has a huge variety of large and village-style shopping centres, including a specialist centre for discount outlets, while the famous theme parks of Dreamworld, Movie World, Wet 'n' Wild and WhiteWater World are just minutes away. Another bonus is the easy access to Brisbane via the Pacific Motorway and Queensland Rail system.

With all of these facilities complemented by a feeling of tranquil relaxation, it's no wonder that Runaway Bay is popular with locals and visitors who wish to be close to everything, yet a world away.
