Gold Coast Facts

Gold Coast in June


Custom Search


 
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.
