Saturday at the Spit

Today around noon, the sun decided to shine, so we took off to discover a bit more about the Spit. This is where the sea meets the Broadwater, the gap that joins the two is called the Seaway. Slightly south of the Spit is the 1.5 klm sand pumping jetty. They pump the sand to keep the Seaway open so that stormwater on the Gold Coast can escape to the ocean.

Looking from the spit to the sand pumping jetty. The jetty is very popular with fishermen early evening.

This beach (Main Beach) runs the full length of the Broadwater.

This northern tip is "dog friendly" , what a wonderful time they were having, it is also popular with "learner" board riders.
