Southport Swimming Enclosure
Drop anchor off the Broadwater foreshore and you're right next to one of the Gold Coast's most popular swimming spots — a dedicated lagoon-style enclosure that keeps the water calm and safe for a swim. It's a laid-back stretch of foreshore with the pontoon sitting about 50 metres from shore, so you'll want a dinghy to get in close.
