Australian Gold Coast in May



Gold Coast Weather In May can be glorious!
The weather in the Gold Coast during May can be glorious. Warm during the day and often very little wind. This photo of boats on the broadwater was taken in the middle of May 2009. A great time to be out on the water!

As well as the amazing weather May on the Gold Coast has no school holidays (except the public holidays) and some great Gold Coast events such as the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, Gold Coast Fashion Week and Blues on Broadbeach. Some great excuses to make a trip the Gold Coast in May.

It’s a great time to look at the boats at the boat show or get out on the water. You can hire jet-skis or go on a guided jet ski tour, take one of the many cruise options, or try your hand at deep sea fishing or why not stay on a houseboat. There is plenty of calm water in the Nerang and Coomera Rivers and the amazing Broadwater.

And, if you are after open water the Pacific Ocean is calling just through the Gold Coast Seaway! When you’ve finished on the water there’ll be plenty of time to check out some Blues at Broadbeach, galleries on Mount Tamborine or just chilling on one of the fabulous Gold Coast beaches!

Tips for Travelers to Gold Coast in May



For Australian Visitors

Weatherwise May is a great time to visit the Gold Coast. Accommodation with air-conditioning is recommended but not essential.

Swimming pools best if heated or indoor especially if you are travelling with younger children. Great travelling this month if you don't have to stick to school holidays.

For Visitors from Overseas
May is a great month to visit the Gold Coast. The weather is mostly perfect!

Air-conditioned accommodation in a good location is still the best pick. Some good deals to be had as not a major local tourist time. Definitely on the short list for overseas visitors!
