Caloundra: Alexandra Headland
Among Queensland’s coastal suburbs, Alexandra Headland stands out for the close relationship between Alexandra Parade and the Pacific Ocean. This Sunshine Coast locality occupies a compact stretch of shore between Maroochydore and Mooloolaba, where a sandy beach and coastal reserve run alongside established residential streets. Alexandra Parade is one of the area’s principal seafront roads, connecting homes, accommodation and beach access along the headland. Surfing and surf lifesaving are central to the wider Sunshine Coast’s coastal culture, while the shoreline remains part of everyday recreation. Alexandra Headland’s low-rise, beachside character distinguishes it from the denser centres nearby.

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.

Queensland extends from Torres Strait in the north to the New South Wales border in the south, encompassing a tropical coastline and a vast, dry interior. Along the Coral Sea, the Great Barrier Reef runs beside the state’s eastern shore, while inland plains, grazing country and long distances define much of central and western Queensland. This location lies in the interior, where settlements are widely spaced and open outback horizons contrast with the humid coast. Queensland is home to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose enduring connections to Country underpin its cultural identity.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
