One of the best things about living in Australia, particularly along the Sunshine Coast, is that there is plenty of opportunities to kick your feet up on the beach and relax. The variety of environments that can be enjoyed, making it an exciting experience at every new location.
Without a doubt, the ideal location to bring family or kids for a weekend or a day off. With plenty of playgrounds that come in exciting shapes and sizes, there is plenty for the kids to be engaged in so that you can sit back and enjoy yourself as well. While your kids may run off towards the wooden pirate ship or castle, you simply need to set down your blanket and settle in for a glass of wine and some snacks.
If you are concerned about safety, it should be noted that the water is always calm and patrolled so you can rest easy. However, suppose any kids are feeling particularly adventurous. In that case, they can head towards the Happy Valley, where they can try their hand at learning to surf.
Another ideal location to bring kids, this beach is well known for the foreshore swimming pool that is roughly 25 metres long. This makes for a perfect spot where the children can paddle and splash around supervised. If you are looking for something interesting the adults can get up to, then simply pick a barbeque pit from those available on the beach and set some food down to eat along with a chilled beverage of your choice.
Suppose you are feeling particularly inclined to treat yourself. In that case, you can head to the Seafood Market Caloundra for some fish or simply take your kids and make your way towards the many cafes that can be found in town.
If you stay at any of the Caloundra resorts such as the Oaks Sunshine Coast Oasis Resort, you will just be on a very short journey from a good time.
For those looking to simply relax and get away from the rush of that city, this may be the place you need to be. With a neighbouring rock wall creating a protected space of water, this is the best place for those who hope to sit down, throw a line in the water, and enjoy some beer while waiting for their catch of the day.
If you are a surfer, then this is where you need to be.
Located right between Maroochydore and Noose, you will find a fine collection of surf breaks that are ideal for all skill levels. If you are brand new to the sport, you will definitely get in a few lessons there as well!
To experience the best of both worlds, head over to the Cotton Tree beach. This is ideal for people to surf, kayak, try out new food, and simply relax as they leave their busy lives behind.
