Spring holidays in Palm Beach carry a certain charm. Warm days call for coastal walks, flatwater paddleboarding, and brunches that linger into the afternoon. 

Wildlife encounters add a playful twist, sparking the same excitement you had as a kid. The top Palm Beach attractions are only a short walk or quick drive from Princess Palm Beach, so every plan stays simple. 

Guests enjoy the luxury of skipping long drives and complex schedules. Sun on your skin, sea air in your lungs, and a little sand in your sandals set the tone. Once spring wraps around you here, leaving is the hardest part.

Family Fun by the Coast

Spring in Palm Beach gives families an easy reason to slow the pace and enjoy sunny days close to home. The area is packed with Palm Beach family activities that keep the kids entertained and create simple, lasting memories.

Pirate Treasure Island Playground 

(Walking Distance)

This Palm Beach family-friendly playground is shaded, free, and a guaranteed hit with young children. Wooden climbing frames, slides, and soft sand make it a safe and fun space for play. 

Parents often spread a picnic rug nearby or take a short stroll to Dune Café for casual snacks and coffee. With the playground set beside the water, even a quiet afternoon feels like a little holiday.

Café Stops for a Seaside Treat

Local favourites like Canvas Palm Beach and Barefoot Barista are perfect for a spring brunch or a relaxed takeaway picnic. 

Sip coffee, enjoy the ocean view, and let the slow rhythm of the coast set the mood. A helpful tip for families: pair an afternoon café stop with a visit to the playground for an easy outing that balances energy and relaxation.

These simple outings combine Palm Beach Cafe Gold Coast favourites with cafe palm beach qld charm, creating family memories that last long after the sand is gone.

Watersports and Sunshine

Spring sunlight on calm water invites holidaymakers to trade shoes for bare feet and enjoy gentle coastal adventure. Early mornings are perfect for paddling or catching a small wave, and every activity sits within easy reach of a relaxed spring itinerary.

Guests searching for activities to do in Gold Coast or nearby things to do in Currumbin will find soft adventures ready to fill the day.

Tallebudgera Creek – SUP 

(5 mins drive)

Stand-up paddleboarding at Tallebudgera Creek is best in the morning when the water is glassy. Beginners and casual paddlers enjoy the calm stretch without any rush. A small dry bag or phone strap is useful for photos, and sunscreen with an early start keeps the session comfortable.

Currumbin SUP – Currumbin Alley 

(7–8 mins drive)

A short drive brings you to Currumbin SUP, where the flat inlet is ideal for couples and families. Midweek mornings are quieter, and the gentle current makes paddling simple and stress-free. It is one of the most relaxed ways to enjoy Currumbin on a sunny spring day.

Palm Beach Surfing

For a light thrill, Palm Beach surfing in spring features smaller, friendly waves that welcome casual riders. Even a brief session adds a refreshing highlight to a coastal holiday.

Wildlife and Scenic Walks

Spring in Palm Beach brings days filled with coastal breezes, birdsong, and lush greenery. It’s the perfect time for adventures Gold Coast style, with wildlife encounters and palm beach nature walks only a short stroll or drive away. 

Families and couples enjoy how easy it is to step into nature without interrupting a relaxed holiday pace.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

(8 mins drive)

A visit to Currumbin Wildlife Park is a classic Gold Coast day out. Rainbow lorikeets sweep overhead during the morning feed, and kangaroos and koalas are always a delight to see. 

Guests seeking extra excitement can try the Treetop Challenge, a series of zip lines and high ropes. Arriving early simplifies parking and ensures a clear view of the lorikeet feeding.

Burleigh Heads National Park – Oceanview Track 

(10 mins drive)

A Burleigh Heads National Park walk along the Oceanview Track shows the coastline at its best in spring. The trail follows the cliffs with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. 

Sunrise and late afternoon bring the softest light for photos, and wearing good shoes with a water bottle on hand keeps the walk comfortable.

Whale Watching Tours 

(25–35 mins drive)

Spring is the tail end of the humpback migration, making whale watching Gold Coast tours a seasonal highlight. Seeing a breach or tail slap in person leaves a lasting memory of the season.
