Caloundra Coastal Walk

The Caloundra Coastal Walk stretches 25 kilometres 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, where it hugs the Pumicestone Passage, before passing Bulcock Beach and Kings Beach on its way around Caloundra Headland heading north following the long, sandy beaches of Kawana to Mooloolaba. 

Along the way visit some historical sites including Military Jetty used for military operations in World War II, and the heritage listed Kings Beach Bathing Pavillion constructed in 1937. 

The headland section follows a trail of plaques honouring the lives of those lost in war. 

Keep an eye out for the wreck of the SS Dicky that ran aground on Dicky Beach in 1893 during a cyclone.

Caloundra Coastal Pathway

The Coastal Pathway is council’s longest shared pathway. It stretches from Pelican Waters (Bell’s Creek) in the south to Tewantin in the north [JPEG 144KB].

Council’s vision is for this pathway to be a world class scenic route connecting the coast. People can explore the beautiful coastline by walking, jogging or cycling. The pathway runs beside beaches, parks and leisure areas. Some sections of the Coastal Pathway are on-road for cyclists.

Caloundra’s Coastal Pathway is a breathtaking nine-kilometre stretch of paths, meandering along Caloundra’s beaches from Bells Creek in the south to Point Cartwright in the north.

With sights such as a lighthouse, lakes, creeks and surf beaches cropping up along the Coastal Pathway, this scenic trail is a great reason to get out and about and explore Caloundra’s natural beauty.

The former Caloundra Council spent $4.3 million on the planning and construction of the Coastal Pathway, designed specifically for walking and cycling.

Signage

Look for the new Coastal Pathway symbol to make finding your way along the pathway easier. Additional information is provided on maps and distance markers [JPEG 654KB]. More signs will be added to the pathway as funds become available.

The pathway has been divided into 11 sections called ‘connections’. Connection lengths work well for one day walks or casual cycling. The first connection to be signed is the Maroochydore Connection [PDF 180KB]. It stretches 4.4km from Cotton Tree Park to The Esplanade, Mooloolaba.

Funding

Council, the Queensland Sport and Recreation Program and the Queensland Government Cycle Network Program have jointly funded construction of many sections of the coastal pathway.

Alexandra Headland, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba Rotary Clubs contributed financial assistance towards installing stage 1 of the new signage.
