I love kayaking at Broadbeach Waters on the Gold Coast – it’s such a variety of sights in such a small area!
I launched at the boat ramp that is just across the river from the Exhibition Centre. It has free parking for up to 3 hours (I think), and an easy boat ramp next to a sandy beach.
I then headed south to check out the residential canals.
Found a nice park along the way…
And some interesting wall art (see the giant pelican next to the giant boat?)
From there I headed east, drawn by the tall towers of Broadbeach.
Under the bridge, towards the Star Casino!
Fortunately, didn’t lose my shirt going under the casino bridge, before heading back to the boat ramp.
Kayaking at Broadbeach Waters
If you want to go kayaking at Broadbeach Waters, here is the map showing where I launched and the loop I paddled:
The AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak is perfect for me because:
- It’s easy to paddle straight as it has an Aluminum Rib Frame Design.
- It has great speed and stability.
- It’s lightweight at only 11.5kg
- The high-backed seat and soft inflatable floor are both very comfortable and supportive of my back and bum.
- It’s very durable – I don’t have to worry about submerged obstacles in creeks
- It’s quick and easy to set-up and pack away.
BUT, it might not be the right kayak for you.
It’s a lot of money down the drain if you get the wrong model, so it’s worth asking for my advice!

About Oz Inflatable Kayaks
Hi, my name is Emily and over a decade ago I thought to myself “gee, I would really love to go kayaking … if only I had a big strong butler to help me get a kayak on and off roof racks. Oh, and several thousand dollars for the kayak and the roof racks (not to mention the cost of the butler)”.
To find a way to go paddling without a heavy hard-shell kayak, I started looking into inflatable kayaks. But I did NOT want a pool toy.
The Advanced Elements range of inflatable kayaks really blew me away (excuse the terrible pun).
I realised that the quality was not just about durability, it also meant that the kayaks were comfortable and easy to paddle straight and fast.
It just so happens that I was also looking for a business opportunity at the same time…
Nowadays I specialise (and delight) in selling Advanced Elements inflatables to all kinds of people in Australia.
I know the range so well that I do personalised recommendation videos to help people choose the right kayak.
It’s a no-obligation service that I enjoy doing AND it helps me in the long run because my customers that get a recommendation get the right kayak, first time. They are HAPPY customers!
So if you are even vaguely thinking about kayaking, get in touch or get your FREE personalised kayak recommendation now.
