Caloundra

Caloundra occupies a headland and coastal strip on Queensland’s southern Sunshine Coast, between the Pacific Ocean and the tidal Pumicestone Passage. The passage runs behind Bribie Island, creating calmer waters beside the town, while beaches such as Kings Beach face the open sea. Caloundra’s beach precincts are linked by a coastal boardwalk, with Bulcock Beach close to the centre. On the headland, the heritage-listed Caloundra Lighthouse, built in 1896, recalls the coast’s maritime navigation history. Markets, cafés and an established family beach culture shape the town’s relaxed coastal character, while the Glass House Mountains rise inland across the region.
