Gold Coast Broadwater

The Broadwater is a spectacular, shallow estuary that serves as the ultimate marine playground for the Gold Coast. Protected from the open ocean by the Southport Spit and South Stradbroke Island, this expansive blue waterway stretches from Southport up to the southern edge of Moreton Bay. Its calm, protected waters create an ideal sanctuary for an endless array of aquatic adventures, from jet skiing and paddleboarding to sailing, kayaking, and fishing along the sandbanks.

Fringing the waterway is the Broadwater Parklands, a world-class, multi-million-dollar green space featuring massive public lawns, water parks, and event stages. The Broadwater is also the region's premier hub for luxury nautical lifestyles, anchored by superyacht marinas, waterfront dining at Marina Mirage, and the departing charters for whale watching and island tours. Whether you are enjoying a sunset cruise, spotting local bottlenose dolphins, or relaxing with a family picnic by the calm shoreline, this vibrant marine park showcases the very best of the Gold Coast's coastal lifestyle.
