If you are there on Sunday, be sure to check out the Caloundra Farmer's Market for local fresh vegetables, seafood and flowers. The Sunday Bulcock Street Markets offer local crafts, outdoor dining and more.
Just a few kilometres up the road in Yandina in the central area of the Sunshine Coast is the Ginger Factory, where the entire family can enjoy rides, tour the factory, stroll through the extensive gardens, help beekeepers extract honey and shop for scrumptious ginger products.
Just opposite the Ginger Factory is Nutworks and the Chocolate Factory. Guests can tour the factory and taste the delectable macadamia and chocolate treats made there. The factory gives tours and has a retail store full of freshly made products.
Adjacent to these two attractions is Mapleton Forest Reserve, where visitors can experience the hinterland forests with great views of the coast.
Day users can see waterfalls and walk through deep forests, wetlands and palm groves. Pack a lunch and enjoy the sounds, sights, and scents of nature during your picnic.
Emundi, a hinterland village not far from Yandina, is famous for its markets. Each Saturday and Wednesday, the small village is transformed into one of the largest outdoor markets in Queensland.

Day hikers can take their time climbing up the natural steps to the top. The trail goes through ecological zones that include tropical forest, wetlands, and scrub inhabited by rare, native species.
North of Coolum lies Noosa Heads. The headlands form the northern extreme of Noosa National Park. Easy trails through the park let hikers of any ability enjoy the journey through rainforests, saltwater marshes and the coastline. Koalas are often observed in the trees.

We live in a place of amazing beauty and we work hard to keep it pristine - for our wildlife, our children and ourselves.

Plastic is a material designed to last forever that we often use only once. Poorly managed plastic leaks into the sea. Our local turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish - plastic pollution kills wildlife and devastates our oceans.
We're an Official Suppporter of the global charity Take 3 For The Sea and we ask every visitor to help us make a big difference, simply by taking 3 pieces of rubbish away with them whenever they visit the beach or a local waterway.
It's that easy to make a positive impact on our little community.
The Point Coolum is centrally located on the Sunshine Coast. We are an easy 20 min drive from popular Noosa Heads and vibrant Mooloolaba. We'll share our local secrets, best coffee, secluded beaches, sumptuous dining, memorable adventures and more. We respect our local surroundings, its people and support local organisations to preserve its natural beauty.
