Gold Coast Fishing Platforms 2026: Where the City’s Fishing Platforms Are, What Bites and the Best Tides (QLD)

Sundale Bridge over the Nerang River, Gold Coast

The City of Gold Coast runs eight fishing platform pages, and each gives a location, the fish to expect, the best bait, the best tide and the right gear. Barney Street is at Southport and Chevron Island is on Stanhill Drive, while Nerang, Pizzey Park and Yatala are under or near the M1 further inland. The City’s advice on tides is broadly the same everywhere: fish the end of the outgoing tide and the incoming tide.
