Coolum Beach, beachside holidays to cherish forever.
Just 15 minutes south of Noosa and 11/2 hours from Brisbane, Coolum Beach still retains the charm of beach holidays from childhood memories.
The pristine patrolled beaches and private bays of Coolum Beach are yours to enjoy. For the more adventurous we have some adrenaline pumping activities and National Parks to explore.
Leave your worries behind as you enjoy your holiday and let the laid back feel of Coolum Beach revive you and capture memories you will hold onto forever.
Coolum's main beach is patrolled every day until 5pm by our dedicated lifeguards. As it is safest to swim between the flags, it leaves miles of pristine beaches for you to stretch out and have for yourself.
You can also explore the Coolum bays to the south, First Bay, Second Bay and Third Bay, between the scenic lookouts at Point Perry and Point Arkwright for private sun baking and relaxation.
A short stroll north on walk from the main beach entry leads to the Stumers Creek end of Coolum Beach. This is one of few dog walking areas on the Sunshine Coast with most pooches off-leash.
The creek itself is great for canoeing and exploring, the unique colouring of the creek, due to the pre-ice age coffee rock and tannins from the trees.
Tickle Park is the big park across from the Coolum Beach shops on the Esplanade as you cross over onto the beach. There is the skate park for kids and free and clean barbeques for you to enjoy.
Lions Park is a short walk towards the north, on the other side of the Caravan Park and has a fitness equipment trail and free barbeques for your use.
Not just a sleepy old beachside Village, Coolum Beach is the perfect getaway for everyone. Family holidays in self-catered accommodation just across from the beach will have you coming back for more.
