Caloundra is the perfect place for retirement
with easily accessible beaches, pathways and shopping centers.
The relaxed and laid-back atmosphere of this coastal town is also
appealing for retirees. Hospitals are also close by and there
is a wide range of retirement villages to suit every need.
The wider Caloundra area is the gateway to the Sunshine Coast
and occupies a highly favoured location in the richly productive
and progressive south-east corner of Queensland. The area includes
residential suburbs on the coast, in towns situated on the railway
line connecting to Brisbane and in the mountains to the west of
the highway. The region offers a diverse variety of real estate
including apartments, duplexes, houses, units and townhouses with
more large acreage offering in the hinterland. The beachside towns
include Kings Beach, Golden Beach, Shelley Beach, Moffat Beach
and Dicky Beach. Pelican Waters offers more exclusive homes with
many on the estuary with jetty access.
Experience the uncrowded beaches with views of the heritage listed
Glass House Mountains, the sparkling waters of the Pumicestone
Passage, and a breath-taking coastal headland with interesting
coves and sandy beaches. Caloundra takes in several beaches each
with their own personality and loyal devotees. There's Golden
Beach, Bulcock Beach, Kings Beach, Shelly Beach, Moffat Beach,
Dicky Beach and Currimundi.
The Caloundra Coastal Path stretches along some of the most scenic
shorelines you could ever wish to see. The path is a continuous
coastal link from Golden Beach in the south, around Caloundra
Headland then Moffat Headland, before heading north following
the long, sandy beaches of Kawana to Point Cartwright. Along the
way it passes some historic sites including Military Jetty used
for military operations in World War II, and the heritage listed
Kings Beach Bathing Pavillion constructed in 1937. There are also
magnificent views to enjoy at Moffat Beach, Kings Beach, Happy
Valley and Bulcock Beach. The walk traverses some remnant coastal
vegetation between Currimundi and Dicky Beach.
Kings Beach is Caloundra's premier surfing beach and just behind
the beach itself is a modern playground area, barbecue facilities
and an amphitheatre for major events. A giant water fountain provides
hours of entertainment while in front of the Surf Club there's
a unique foreshore swimming pool.
Explore the coastline on a cycling or walking tour, on a cruise,
by kayak or hop on a jet ski. If you love a round of golf then
tee off at the challenging Greg Norman-designed Club Pelican.
Nearby Corbould Park is one of the finest regional thoroughbred
racing facilities in the country.
Major attractions in the area include Australia Zoo, Aussie World
and the Ettamogah Pub, Big Kart Track and the Queensland Air Museum.
