Gold
Coast in June is the beginning of whale
watching season.
The
season starts late May and runs to early November.
The
best way to see the humpbacks is from a boat - you are more likely to
see one and also get a closer view.
Sometimes there are excellent viewing opportunities from land in
unexpected places!
For instance a high rise in Broadbeach gave an excellent
viewing platform for whales frollicking between the beach and sandbar!
Another
good spot is the headland at Point Danger.
So,
don't forget to pack your binoculars.
If
you are lucky you might
even catch a glimpse of our famous Migaloo
– a unique white humpback whale!
June isn’t all about whales and you might notice that the
season has ticked over to winter! Don’t let that put you off.
Winter
in the Gold Coast is truly AWESOME!

Tips for
Travelers to Gold Coast in June
|
For
Australian Visitors
A
great time to escape from the cooler weather
in the southern states! Be careful this is when most people decide a
move to
the Gold Coast is the thing to do!
If you like swimming highly recommend accommodation with a heated
swimming pool
– it’s easy to get caught out on this one!
|
|
For
Visitors from Overseas
Any
winter month in the Gold Coast is awesome
– June is no exception. Days are warm with clear blue skies
and nights are just
a little crisp.
Highly recommend accommodation with a heated pool if you like to swim
after a
day’s sightseeing - this will definitely make it more
enjoyable.
If you have the luxury of picking your time, you will save money and
avoid the
crowds by coming in early June before the School Holidays start.
