Bulcock Beach is a gorgeous, picturesque & protected beach backing onto Pumicstone Passage and perfect for a chilled out swim. There are no waves to speak of but you can walk 5 minutes up to Happy Valley or further up to Kings Beach if surfing is what you’re after. Otherwise just treat it as a refreshing saltwater lake. Bulcock is set against the backdrop of the Glasshouse Mountains, which can be seen in the distance. There are also plenty of cafes & restaurants across the road as well as the famous coastal boardwalk which offers world class ocean views.

Although you can’t take your dog onto the main part of Dicky Beach, there is an amazing off leash dog beach just a couple hundred meters further along! We took our family dog on his first holiday to Caloundra and looked around for an off leash dog beach - this one was amazing! Lots of friendly dogs for him to socialize with and run around with. Off the beach you needs to put your dog back on leash, there’s a water bowl and a dog wash station too. The surf was a bit too hectic for our little fella but he still loved the opportunity to run around with a bunch of other dogs in the sea air. ???????????? ????

This is not a large gallery but there are some real gems there. The exhibition of local artists was excellent. They even have activity packs for children, which is a really great way to encourage art appreciation and participation.

Just marvelous for experienced surfers, is one Moffat Beach, Caloundra on the super Sunshine Coast. It is a compact piece of sand, in particular at high tide, but there is plenty of adjoining green space where one can sit and or exercise. I often visit to check out the surfing action, as well as indulge in a morning brew at one of several excellent cafes in the area.

Caloundra is a charming seaside town at the southernmost end of the Sunshine Coast. Just 1 hour north of Brisbane. According to locals, the most outstanding feature of Caloundra is the natural surrounds, especially the beautiful and pristine beaches, with the relaxed beach lifestyle being one of the top reasons why people visit or live in the area.

Sunday AM is a fun time to experience a Caloundra’s Sunday Morning Street Market. A main street in Caloundra is closed off for Sunday Market. A variety of hand made jewelry, soaps, art, etc. . A time to enjoy a Sunday morning brekkie with family and friends on the street as you watch the people enjoy a fun Sunday outing.

The Caloundra Headland Memorial Walkway was dedicated as a War Memorial on Remembrance Day 1995. The walkway extends from Kings to Shelly Beaches. Along the walkway there are many sites dedicated to the memory of those that contributed to the defence of Australia. This is a relatively easy walk showcasing the coastline whilst providing places to pause and reflect on those who served our nation.

There is no better way to start the day, than an early morning walk along the coastal walk from Bulcock Beach, Caloundra to Kings Beach. The colourful skies are beautiful and there are plenty of places to stop and take photographs. There are some great Cafes at Kings Beach to stop at and have breakfast before you return to Caloundra This is an easy flat walk and well worth the early morning start
9. Shelly Beach

Shelly Beach is not as well known as some of the more iconic beaches to found on Australia's beautiful Sunshine Coast. It is however, a compact, fantastic piece of coastline, that is ever popular with both families and solo beach-goers, alike. It is a superb place to have a picnic and or just enjoy the simple pleasure of getting 'sand between the toes' on a good, old fashioned, beach walk.
