Why it's worth checking out
Fisherman's Lawn sits on Marine Parade in Southport, on the Gold Coast's Broadwater in the city's central north. A near-perfect 4.8 rating from 14 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a lovely waterside green space — an open lawn along the Broadwater with lovely water views, a genuine favourite for a walk, a picnic, a fish or simply relaxing by the water in the handy Southport area. It's a lovely, free outing.
Foreshore lawns have changing facilities, tides and seasonal conditions, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and take your time by the water.
