Florida Gardens light rail station is serviced by the Gold Coast light rail system known as the G:link. The station services the very southern end of Surfers Paradise,[1] the Gold Coast's key tourist precinct. It appears to be in reference to Florida Gardens Estate, a former land development in the 1960s that extended west from Cascade Gardens and eventually evolved into Broadbeach Waters.
Location[edit]
The station is located in the median strip of the Gold Coast Highway and provides access to local beaches, only a short walk away. Below is a map of the area surrounding the station.
