Broadwater Beach

📖 About Broadwater Beach

Broadwater Beach lines the sheltered Gold Coast Broadwater estuary, a calm, shallow waterway stretching from Southport past Main Beach to The Spit. Unlike the open ocean beaches nearby, its glassy waters are ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and confident swimming without surf — making it particularly popular with families and beginners. The foreshore is bordered by parklands, barbecue areas, and walking paths, with the Gold Coast Seaway just to the north offering a dramatic contrast of ocean swells.
