A beachside town with a surf beach, a calm passage beach and a coastal pathway.

Caloundra is the southern gateway to the Sunshine Coast, with beaches on both the ocean and the Pumicestone Passage. Sunshine Coast Council says Kings Beach is a year-round patrolled beach, with only a section patrolled, and has a 25 metre seawater ocean pool at its northern end; dogs are not permitted there. Bulcock Beach faces the Pumicestone Passage, with foreshore parkland, a boardwalk, picnic areas, barbecues and public toilets. Council lists a Coastal Pathway route between Bulcock Beach and Kings Beach that is marked as accessible. Check council and Beachsafe pages for current patrol arrangements and dog rules before visiting.
