Gold Coast Photography Locations
The right location helps tell your family’s story. Whether you’re drawn to the soft, glowing light of the beach or the lush greenery of a park, each setting offers its own beautiful backdrop for natural, joy-filled moments.
I’ve carefully selected locations that photograph beautifully and provide the best lighting throughout the year. I’ll also guide you on timing, what to expect, and how to choose the setting that fits your family’s personality best.
Currumbin Beach
Currumbin Beach is one of the most beautiful spots on the Gold Coast. With its sandy dunes, pristine beach, crystal-clear water and stunning sunsets, it's the perfect place for a photo session. You can have fun playing in the dunes, walking along the beach, splashing around in the shallow waters of the ocean, and exploring those big rocks. There are plenty of opportunities to capture some truly magical moments.
If you're looking for an alternative location, consider heading to the south of Currumbin Beach where Elephant Rock is located. It's another great spot for a photo session.
North Burleigh Beach Beach
North Burleigh Beach is located right under North Burleigh's lookout and boasts awe-inspiring coastal views from Burleigh to Surfers Paradise skyline. The beach is particularly picturesque and offers a stunning view of Burleigh Hills, a beautiful sunset behind the tree line on the dune, and the big rock beneath the lookout. It's a perfect spot for a photo session due to its stunning backdrop.
An alternative option is to choose Miami Beach on the other side of the lookout.
The Spit Southport
The Spit is an iconic beach located at the northernmost tip of the Gold Coast mainland. It is known for its sand-pumping jetty that extends into the surf. The beach is surrounded by natural parklands, which offer plenty of trees, grasses, and a stunning beach background. If you reside on the northern side of the coast, then The Spit is the perfect location for you.
Tallebudgera Creek Beach
Tallebudgera Creek is a famous spot known for its sparkling creek, which is framed by the Burleigh Heads National Park on one side and Palm Beach on the other. It boasts beautiful sandy beaches, sparkling water, textured rock walls, and lush rainforest. All these elements come together to create a magical setting for a photo session. You can choose to have the session on the rainforest side near the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre or the rock wall side near the Talle Recreation Centre.
Regional Botanic Garden
The Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens is a serene and tranquil oasis located in the heart of the city. This location boasts a boardwalk, a lake, lush greenery, and a variety of gardens, making it the perfect location for those who want to enjoy nature without getting their feet wet.
Pizzey Park
Pizzey Park, situated in Miami, is an ideal location for sports enthusiasts as well as those who love to capture memorable photos. The park boasts beautiful pine trees, a serene lake, a small sandy beach, and an excellent sunset view. The combination of these natural elements makes Pizzey Park a unique and unparalleled location on the Gold Coast.
These locations mentioned above are just a few options that are available near me. However, the Gold Coast is a stunning place with many more places to discover.
