Waking up every day to the stunning waterfront views in our latest Mater Prize Home lottery No. 304 on the Gold Coast will have you daydreaming of ways to get out there and enjoy the water on a daily basis. And the good news is, you’re never too far from a beautiful beach, lake, canal or other body of water when you live here.

To make sure you maximise your prime location and new stress-free lifestyle, our home lottery comes with all the watersports essentials you need to get out and experience new adventures: a slick Sea Ray 250 SLX, two E-Foil Surfboards and two Yamaha Jet Skis, plus, $1,000,000 in cashable gold bullion for you to add to your water toy collection however you see fit.

So, where are all the best places to boat, jet ski, and foil on the Gold Coast? This list will get you started.

Best boating adventures in the area

There’s always a new canal or beachfront adventure to be had on the Gold Coast, and the best way to get around is on a boat like your Sea Ray 250 SLX, included in our latest Mater Prize Home. One of the greatest joys of having your own boat is that throwing in a fishing line is always on the cards. The best place to go close to home is the Coomera River, where there’s a good chance freshly-caught Mangrove Jack will be on your menu for the evening. You may also come across Surf Bream, Red Snapper, and Dusky Flathead. With your own boat, you can also make day trips to Stradbroke Island a regular occurrence.

Where to go jet-skiing

When you’ve got a need for speed, the great open ocean is the place to go. The list of must-try places to jet-ski on the Gold Coast is a long one—basically anywhere up and down the entire coastline looking back towards the beaches offers a picturesque ride. A favourite is Palm Beach for its four-kilometre stretch of pristine beach and flat waves. If you’re up for a full day out on the water, the Tangalooma Run will reward you with amazing snorkelling at the famous Tangalooma shipwrecks off Moreton Island, as well as a fun ride getting there.

The top places to take your e-foil surfboard

After your first ride on your prize lottery e-foil surfboards, you’ll be hooked on that feeling of flying over the water. With the added luxury of being able to ride anywhere, any time, without wind or waves, ‘foiling’ will be your go-to outlet for unwinding after a long day. Just remember, what makes great conditions for surfing is usually the opposite for foiling—you want light wind and small waves. Some of the top places for foiling on the Gold Coast include The Spit, Kirra Beach, and Currumbin Beach.

Kayaking spots on the Gold Coast

If you need some inspiration for how to use your $1,000,000 in cashable gold bullion, a pair of kayaks are a good place to start. Especially when you realise the Colman Road Reserve is practically in your backyard. The natural reserve in Coomera is an idyllic place to cruise along in your kayak while koala spotting and immersing yourself in 6-hectares of nature. Tallebudgera Creek and Currumbin Creek are also unbeatable spots for kayaking on the Gold Coast thanks to their calm waters and stunning scenery.
