Best Places to Snorkel on the Gold Coast 

One of the best spots to snorkel on the Gold Coast is Cook Island. This spectacular spot features dozens of species of vibrant fish as well as majestic native birds. It’s all located just 15 minutes from Tweed Heads. Cook Island also offers the opportunity to snorkel with Green, Hawksbill & Loggerhead Turtles. These majestic turtles call the island home, and you can even spot migrating humpback whales between June and November. One of the best parts of snorkelling is that you can go at your own pace - swim along, use a boogie boards with view holes or even just float about. 

 

Gold Coast Snorkelling Spots 

There are a variety of snorkelling spots on the Gold Coast that showcase stunning sea life. Another one of our picks is the Gold Coast Seaway, a hotspot for local divers and snorkelling enthusiasts with three spots: the South Wall, the North Wall and the South West Wall. The South Wall is ideal for beginners, while the North and South-West Walls are perfect for scuba diving. Species you’ll find around the Seaway include scorpionfish, lionfish, giant gropers and eagle and bull rays. 

Snorkelling on Wave Break Island on the Gold Coast 

Wave Break Island is one of the hidden gems of the Gold Coast. Home to more than 450 species of fish and invertebrate species, this spot is just half an hour away from Mainbeach. Part of the magic of Wave Break is the minimum swell and relative seclusion, due to the minimal boating activities nearby. Wave Break island also offers a beautiful beach to relax on in between exploring the sea.
