Explore Caloundra On The Sunshine Coast

A laidback and atmospheric town, Caloundra is one of many stunning parts of the Sunshine Coast. About 90km north of Brisbane, it’s an aqua oasis with lakes, waterways, fountains, beaches and pools all providing fun and refreshment in many different ways.

With the Glasshouse Mountains in view, most of the action in Caloundra takes place on the water. With the constant sound of the surf in the background, you can go kiteboarding, kayaking, snorkelling and even jet skiing, without disturbing the wildlife that reside in the waters. Along the calm straits of the Pumicestone Passage, Caloundra Jetski riders can zip their way through these naturally beautiful waterways at a speed of up to 60km per hour. Regulated by Parks and Wildlife, these clean, green fun machines are considerate of everything from turtles to wading birds. From $130 per jet ski for 40 minutes, you really can have the time of your life on the back of one of these babies. Just read the reviews if you don’t believe us.

Another adrenaline rush can be had skydiving on the beach with Sunshine Coast Skydivers – a great way to experience the beaches and their golden sands. Due to Caloundra’s position on the headland, you can always find a sheltered beach no matter where the wind is blowing… If you’re after the cute critters of Down Under, Australia Zoo is just down the road.

With all this adventure, your appetite will no doubt be at its peak, so grab a bite to eat at Sandbar Café. Located right on the foreshore, you can enjoy burgers, fish and chips and seafood platters to chow down on, or grab a healthy smoothie from Melon Head to get your energy levels back up for more fun in Caloundra!
