Best experiences in Coolum Beach

Live like a Sunshine Coast local

An easy-going, un-busy, non-complicated way of being. That’s the Coolum way of life.

Here you can take a surfing lesson or just kick back, relax and enjoy the beach. Go boutique shopping on David Low Way and sip a coffee at one of Coolum’s many cafes. In summer, check out the Coolum Twilight Markets, which offers everything from new and handmade clothing to local jewellery, arts and crafts. Blast Aqua Fun Park Coolum is an exciting aquatic play area with activities suitable for children as young as six.

If you’re an active, outdoorsy type and don’t mind an adventure with a terrific view, you can climb Mt. Coolum. It takes about 45 minutes to trek to the summit of this mountain, but once you get there, the views are simply breathtaking. There are 360-degree views of the Sunshine Coast that include everything from the ocean to rolling hills.

There’s plenty to do and see, if that’s your thing.  If doing nothing is more your style, then that’s cool too.
