I had an appointment in Southport and decided to detour via the beach on the way home. A good decision, I really haven’t had enough beach time this summer #nofilter #southportspit #beachvibes
#MoodyMonday vibes. Wash those #Mondayblues away with this great snap of #SouthportSpit.
Beach report 10/3/24 large swell, big tides, strong winds = beach closed. #dogbeach #southportspit #goldcoast #goldcoastlife #autumn
‘If you want your body to work, you have to work your body’ b.x Every weekend is an opportunity to move it or work it a different way. It is all to stay in practice for the purpose of it carrying me through life. #wellness #wellbeingcoach #wellbeing #bike #mtb #trail #goldcoast #southportspit

I dont know if you can really tell from this photo, but it was absolutely blowing a gale on the beach during this session! I think it took several days to get all of the sand out of my ears haha - but so worth it with so many amazing memories captured! #goldcoastbeachphotography #beachfamilyphotosgoldcoast #beachphotographygoldcoast #familyphotosbeach #sanddunes #beachphotosgoldcoast #funfamilyphotographygoldcoast #brisbanefamilyphotography #brisbanefamilyphotographer #familyphotographerbrisbane #familyphotos #beachportraitsession #goldcoastbeaches #southportspit #familyphotossouthport #goldcoastphotographer #goldcoastfamily #beachfamilyphotos #holidayphotosgoldcoast #goldcoastholidayphotos #goldcoastbeachholiday

There was not a dry eye anywhere yesterday when Joshua got down on one knee and proposed to beautiful Esperanza! I've still got goosebumps!! There was so much planning going into this day and it all went absolutely perfectly (Despite the crazy weather!)

Another big morning seeing all the #danes at #daneday #brisdanes #southportspit Now I’m too tired to get out of the van.. Will just have a nap for a little bit.. 💤
FLASHBACK FRIDAY - All of this wild weather reminded me of this day back in 2019 when Cyclone Oma hung around in the Coral Sea for what seemed like forever! We took a drive down to the Southport Spit for a look. Not too sure that I would have been taking out the JetSki in that crazy weather!!🤔🤔 #beach #southportspit #seascapephotography #sealife #nature #cycloneoma #cycloneoma2019 #cyclone #cycloneomawaves #goldcoastbeach #queensland #mothernature
Birds seen at The Spit are in this YouTube video. I expect I may be adding some new artwork based on the seagulls and scrub turkeys I saw and photographed that day. #southportspit #goldcoastseaway #southportseaway #boats #jetski #scrubturkey #brushturkey #ibis #AustralianIbis #Australianwhiteibis
❤️🌳 Botanical bliss towering up out of Philip Park at The Spit, coastal paperbark trees are just one of the many fantastic species that call this place home. To think, some bloke wants to turn this into an industrial scale international shipping home port. Muppets will be muppets. #noterminal #philippark #thespit #southportspit #saveourspit #doesntpassthepubtest
#sunrise #southportspit #sandpumpingjetty #sunriseoftheday #sunrisephotography This morning at the sand-pumping jetty on the Southport Spit
The mystique and adventure of what might be around the next bend ... Federation Walk (including Philip Park) is the terrestrial jewel in the crown of The Spit, and its low impact pathways provide a perfect balance of between accessibility and natural amenity. At present there is a push to turn large sections of this into wide concrete pathways for "shared" use by E-scooters and skateboards, pedal and electric bikes, pedestrians and more. SOSA is currently engaged with various departments on this issue and oppose the installation of such rigid and high impact infrastructure on sensitive dune areas within a conservation site such as Federation Walk. SOSA supports the so-called Oceanway pathway proposed to connect Main Beach to the top of The Spit to run via the existing shared pathway along Seaworld Drive and not be duplicated over sensitive dune and littoral coastal habitat designated for reserve and conservation. The established pathways should be retained and properly maintained to provide soft access to Federation Walk whilst preserving the low impact natural amenity of the area. Over 90% of the Gold Coast's accessible coastline is developed or shaped with hard infrastructure and concrete right up to the shoreline. The Spit and Federation Walk represent the last remaining stretch of our accessible coastline which is undeveloped and free from hard infrastructure including concrete, bollards, excessive signage, platforms, structures and buildings — it should stay this way. The Spit and Federation Walk sand dunes play an important role providing critical habitat to numerous species including many birds, reptiles and small animals, including nesting turtles. Concrete pathways, potential lighting and the introduction of excessive hard infrastructure threatens this habitat and the amenity it provides for both people and wildlife. #federationwalk #thespit #southportspit #dunesystem #saveourspit #goldcoastoceanway

Took Ruby for a short drive down the GC today. If you’re a dog owner, this must be doggy paradise. I’m not a dog owner but the dogs here were very well behaved and the sunset was just sublime. So much beauty on our doorstep! ✌️❤️🙏 #dougjenningspark #southportspit #vwmultivanaustralia
Needed to get out of the house so headed to the spit with a coffee to watch the world go by for a moment #southportspit #breakwall #jetty #goldcoast #gc #watchtower #puppies #sunset #ocean

Second on our whistle stop #goldcoast tour 13 October is #southportspit.⠀ ⠀ Completed with John Gaskell Planning Consultants, Articulous, @aspectstudios, @cityofgoldcoast and the Gold Coast Waterways Authority, our Southport Spit master plan mapped a clear direction for 201 hectares of iconic landscape – balancing tourism, recreation, environment and cultural heritage.⠀ ⠀ We look forward to revisiting this very special project for which our team won @pia_planning and Gold Coast Urban Design awards, learn more at the link in bio. ⠀ ⠀ Do you have a standout Southport Spit memory? Pop it in the comments below, we'd love to hear it. ⠀ ⠀ 📷 @pr_designthinkingdrawings [visual description: A drawing depicts men, women, children and a dog walking along a path flanked by sub-tropical trees.

Another weekend, another early start! I live almost 2 hours from the coast, my non-photography friends thinks I'm crazy for grout of bed at 3am to head out to take photos....maybe they're right! Anyway I think it was worth the effort. We arrived when there was just a faint glow on the horizon, it was lovely to see the colours change as the sun came up. Pretty happy with these results. . . . #canon #canon6dmarkii #canonaustralia #canoncamera #canon1635 #sunrise #southportspit #thespit #thespitjetty #stupidoclock #manfrottotripod #longexposure #longexposurephotography #earlystart #Queensland #australia #goldcoast #sunrisephotography #lockyervalleycameraclub
