The public transport route from Gold Coast Airport to Surfers Paradise is the route 777 bus to Burleigh Heads station, then the G:link tram north. Since Monday 7 September 2026, the 777 no longer goes as far as Broadbeach South station: it runs as a limited-stop express between the airport and Stockland Burleigh Heads, and the tram extension carries the rest of the trip.

There is no public parking at the 2026 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, so the practical way in is the G:link tram: Main Beach station is about 200m from the gates if you come from the north, and the new Cypress Avenue station is about 600m from Gate 6 if you come from the south. Your race ticket also covers free travel on Queensland Rail City network trains, the G:link and Kinetic buses.
