A lovely island beach spot near Main Beach on the Gold Coast with a 4.5 rating across 103 reviews.
Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Wave Break Island sits in the Broadwater off Main Beach, on the northern Gold Coast. With 103 reviews behind its 4.5 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a gorgeous island escape on the water — a man-made island in the Broadwater, a genuine favourite for boating, swimming, snorkelling and a relaxed day out on the water, a lovely spot away from the crowds. It's a beautiful, largely natural experience.
The island is accessed by boat and has changing conditions, tides and no formal facilities, so check current details and any advisories before you go. Bring sun protection, water, food and your swimmers, and take care in and around the water.
Spot Score
The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.5 from 103 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
