Broadwater

Postcode: 4380

The Gold Coast Broadwater stretches north from Southport past Labrador, Biggera Waters, Anglers Paradise, Runaway Bay, Hollywell and Paradise Point. The Broadwater is protected by The Spit (to the South) and South Stradbroke Island (to the North).

A wonderful waterfront promenade is located along the Broadwater starting at Biggera Waters in the North continuing to Southport in the South. Attractive parkland and a number of parks can also be found along the promenade ideal for walking, cycling and relaxing.

The Broadwater is also a popular area for boating, due to its calm waters. The Broadwater also offers safe access to the Pacific Ocean throught the Gold Coast Seaway (at the end of The Spit).

Fishing is another popular sport on the Broadwater. You can either fish from the shore, or hire a small boat to explore the Broadwater waters. Alternatively you can take part in a Broadwater or deep sea fishing charter, many of which depart from the Broadwater. There are also a number of watersports that you can enjoy including parasailing, windsurfing, kite surfing and speed boating.
