Is it safe to swim in the canals boarding your property?
Broadbeach Waters, QLD 4218 is located within the Gold Coast local government area, part of the Gold Coast Region in Queensland.
We have started looking at BBWaters as our potential new home to raise our family and we are really keen on a waterfront property. I'm concerned my little boys will end up as shark bait! lol!

Hi Lisa,
I would definitely avoid swimming in the canals on the coast. The bull sharks love to use the canals as breeding grounds and sightings are a frequent occurrence.

Hi, I lived on a canal in Broadbeach Waters for 13 yrs. As a teenager I swam in the canal. Often eels and stingrays would swim around the boat moored at our neighbours jetty. Canals have had sharks. I wouldn’t swim in canals these days. Good luck with the move Broadbeach Waters has some great streets. This article sums up your shark question. https://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/documents/bf/dangerous-aquatic-organisms-factsheet.pdf
