GET TO KNOW BROADBEACH WATERS While Broadbeach offers the hustle and bustle, adjacent Broadbeach Waters adopts a more sedate approach with its kilometres of canals, bike paths and scenic walks. It would be tempting to dismiss this fringe-dwelling suburb in favour of bustling Broadbeach, however there is much more than meets the eye. With plenty of interesting restaurants and cafes dotted around the place, this canal system suburb itself is one worth witnessing. Broadbeach Waters sits nestled behind Cascade Gardens, offering rainforest walks, water bird sanctuary, waterfalls and a tranquil creek. If this isn’t quintessential Queensland, we don’t know what is.
