World class surfing beaches
The Coolum area is flanked by miles of long, white-sand beaches. Our world class beaches are popular for walking, swimming, surfing, kayaking, body-surfing or just relaxing and enjoying the sound of the surf.
A trip to the beach will keep the kids happy for hours building sandcastles, burying each other, flying kites or playing ball games.
The water is warm all year round but it's safest to swim at one of the many patrolled beaches and stay between the flags. Council lifeguards patrol the beaches year round and will advise you on the conditions and keep a watchful eye on you as you swim.
During the summer months, the Coolum Beach Surf Club also provide voluntary lifesavers to keep everyone safe in and out of the water.
As always when swimming follow the surf safety guidelines to make sure you have a relaxing and enjoyable time.
Dogs are allowed on the beaches only in specific dog exercise areas such as the Stumers Creek end of Coolum Beach and Peregian.
