Gold Coast in May

Australian Gold Coast in May

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, go on a cruise, do a fishing trip or 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 the beach!
