Gold Coast in June

Australian Gold Coast in June

June in the Gold Coast is the start of the whale watching season. Point Danger at the southern end of the Gold Coast and on the border with NSW is an excellent place to go to lookout for whales from the land.

The whale watching tour season starts in early June and runs to the end of October. 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 frolicking between the beach and sandbar!

Another good spot is the headland at Point Danger, you can see it in the photo above. Don't forget to pack your binoculars. And, 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!

I get alot of questions about the weather this month and if you can still visit the beach or the Gold Coast water parks (Wet n Wild and Whitewater World). The water temperature on the Gold Coast is on average 21C so the beaches and water activities are pretty much an all year attraction!

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.
