The best places to snag a catch on the Gold Coast

Gold Coast Seaway

With nine times more waterways than Venice, over 260 kilometres of navigable waterways and convenient access to the Pacific Ocean for deep-sea fishing, the Gold Coast is the definition of paradise for boaters and fishermen.

GemLife Gold Coast, located in Pimpama Heights, is a short drive from many world-class waterways and fishing spots. Here are just a few nearby hotspots you won’t want to miss.

Jacobs Well: Jacobs Well is a local favourite that leads to the Pimpama River and endless channels, creeks and rivers brimming with flathead. Jacobs Well is a ten-minute drive from the resort and has a great four-lane boat ramp with parking and a bait and tackle shop right on the ramp.

Paradise Point: The beautiful waterways of Paradise Point will make you feel like you are on a holiday. After a day on the water, treat yourself to a delightful meal at one of the many nearby waterside cafes and restaurants.

Currumbin Creek: The shores of the tremendous 20-kilometre Currumbin Creek are lined with pristine beaches, perfect for a pit-stop to splash in the calm clear waters and soak up the sun.

Tallebudgera Creek: Tallebudgera Creek is a fishing gold mine. Cruise near the mouth of the creek to snag a few flathead before venturing further upstream to cast your bait into the water and wait for a big bream.

Gold Coast Seaway: With magnificent ocean views and countless fishing hotspots to explore from the rock walls to the jetty, the Gold Coast Seaway is a must-visit destination for all fishermen in the Gold Coast area.

GemLife Gold Coast offers on-site storage for recreational vehicles including boats, so when the waterways are calling you can answer at a moment’s notice.
