A trendy waterfront venue known for its crisp white interior and sunset drinks is expanding with a new luxury offering.

Surfers Pavilion will launch its jetty, which will have riverfront dining and on-site vessel mooring, to the public on Friday.

At 400sq m, it will be the Nerang River’s largest jetty, with space for six boats and 15 jetskis to be moored simultaneously.

A weekend-long celebration featuring DJs, live entertainment and giveaways will be held to mark the opening.

Artesian Hospitality managing partner Matt Keegan said the jetty would add to the Gold Coast’s alfresco dining scene as the weather heats up.

“Since opening in April last year, Surfers Pavilion has firmly established its reputation as a favourite among locals and tourists alike, praised for its relaxed, quintessential Queensland atmosphere and location,” he said.

“We are looking forward to welcoming the local boating community, and interstate guests, to experience our newest facility, while enjoying the premium menu and entertainment offerings within Surfers Pavilion.”
