Flowing from the hinterland down to the Broadwater, the Coomera River is one of the Gold Coast’s most loved waterways. Known for its calm stretches, mangrove-lined banks, and easy access to both nature and adventure, the river offers endless opportunities to relax, play, and explore.
Boating and Fishing
Coomera River is a boatie’s paradise, with plenty of launch ramps, marinas, and calm stretches ideal for cruising. Keen anglers will find bream, flathead, and whiting in abundance, making it a popular spot for a quiet day with a fishing rod.
Water Adventures
For those who like their holidays a little more action-packed, the river caters to jet skiing, wakeboarding, and kayaking. Families often take to the water on stand-up paddleboards or hire a small boat to explore hidden coves. It’s an easy way to see the Gold Coast from a fresh perspective.
Wildlife and Nature
Away from the busier stretches, the river winds through mangrove forests and estuaries, home to abundant birdlife and occasional dolphins. Nature lovers can spend hours spotting herons, pelicans, and egrets, or simply enjoy a peaceful walk along riverside paths.
Nearby Highlights
The Coomera River flows past some of the Gold Coast’s biggest attractions, including Dreamworld, Warner Bros. Movie World, and the Gold Coast Wake Park. It also connects to the Broadwater, opening up day trips to Wave Break Island and South Stradbroke Island.
