ONE of the Coasts leading businesspeople has called for silver service to be allowed to make its way to our golden beaches.

Property queen Lucy Cole has rattled the cutlery by urging the council and the State Government to allow restaurants to set up tables on Gold Coast beaches.

But its a call that is finding very little support among both council and the restaurant industry.

Ms Cole, who is the founder and managing director of Lucy Cole Prestige Properties, said the Gold Coast needed to do more if it wanted to retain its place as Australias No. 1 holiday destination.

Do you support dining on the beach? Let us know in the comments below:

We need to take more advantage of our natural assets and cater to the desires of the tourist market, she said.

There is no reason why portions of our beaches could be used of an evening to create restaurants on the beach.

If you go to the Greek Islands you will find chairs and tables all the way down to the water of a night time.

I am not saying we should do the same but we should be doing more with what we have got.

The rest is here:

Fancy a table on the beach?
