Enjoyed an amazing sunrise below the jetty, and an afternoon walk to the tip. The view is pretty stunning!
The Gold Coast Seaway offers a truly refreshing experience. If you’re walking towards the lighthouse 💡 on a windy day 💨, you'll feel the sand 🏝️ gently blowing across the path, which adds to the coastal atmosphere. As you get closer to the ocean, the mist 🌊 from the crashing waves provides a thrilling and invigorating sensation. If you keep a close watch on the water, you might be lucky enough to see dark brown dolphins 🐬 jumping and playing in the waves. It’s a spectacular sight and definitely worth the walk
The Spit is one of my absolute favourite places to snorkel. The marine life here is incredible turtles, eagle rays, fish, eels and it’s such a special spot to experience the ocean up close. That said, I feel very strongly that fishing off the rocks should be banned in this area. The rock walls are metres and metres wide, making it almost inevitable that fishing line gets snagged and left behind. Sadly, this has serious consequences for the sea life below. I have personally seen turtles, eels and fish tangled up with hooks and line, and one of the most heartbreaking sights was an eagle ray swimming with fishing line trailing behind it, caught in seaweed and slowing its movement. This isn’t about blaming fishers it’s about suitability and safety. These rocks are simply not appropriate for fishing compared to other rock walls where the drop is more vertical and lines are far less likely to get caught. I truly believe a better solution would be to reopen the pier as a designated fishing venue. A pier makes far more sense, reduces harm to marine life, and allows fishing and conservation to coexist. The Spit is too important, and the marine life here is too precious, not to protect it properly. I hope more consideration is given to preserving this beautiful ecosystem for future generations.
Very windy and leisure walk along the spit with waves pounding the rocks. Very nice place to take pictures and enjoy the sea view. Hope to be back soon.
Beautiful place to enjoy a day off. Be on the beach, see the sunset or walking. It is an amazing place. We had an amazing time over here and even enjoyed the vwry end of the day observing the beauty of the city lights.
