 Out
and About
No visit to Caloundra would be complete without a tour of the
hinterland and its townships, each of which offers much to
see and do. You can
while away the hours in the many arts and crafts shops, tuck into
a Devonshire tea or purchase farm-fresh produce from a roadside stall
- the choice is yours. There is also a host of more energetic pursuits
to choose from including bushwalking, rock climbing and horse riding.
Dip in to the Deep Blue
What is so extraordinary about Caloundra's kilometres of sandy beaches,
aside from their acknowledged beauty, is their diversity. From open
ocean surf beaches that stretch northwards in an almost straight
line to Point Cartwright along the Kawana Waters foreshore, to those
that curve in gentler waters alongside the City heart and south to
Golden Beach. Surfing, safe swimming, snorkelling, beach or fishing,
canoeing, windsurfing and water-skiing can all be enjoyed off any
of Caloundra's clean, clear water beaches and waterways throughout
the region.
 Perfect Waves
Aside from well-known Kings Beach, other top places to catch the
best waves are Dicky Beach, Moffat Beach, Currimundi, Wurtulla, Buddina
and Kawana at the northern end of our coastal strip. Moffat and Shelly
offer great beach fishing, rocky pools and exhilarating walks. All
other Caloundra beaches have good swimming conditions and many are
patrolled all year round, either by volunteers from the many Surf
Life Saving clubs or Council paid lifeguards.
Great Fun for the Kids
Both Bulcock Beach, near the City centre, and Golden Beach provide
calm water swimming and are wonderful for small children. They also
offer boating, fishing and windsurfing. Here, and also at Dicky and
Wurtulla Beaches, you'll find well equipped children's play areas
and excellent BBQ and picnic facilities, the latter also being provided
at Kings Beach. Kings, Dicky and Kawana Beaches are patrolled 365
days a year and in addition the Caloundra City Council have Mobile
Lifeguards who patrol the open beaches to further support community
water safety.
