Summer Fun in Caloundra!!

Summer in Caloundra is triple fun, fun, fun!!! With Caloundra’s abundance of beaches, (six to be exact!), excellent waterways of the Pumicestone Passage and the nearby Currumundi Lake, there’s plenty of summer fun in Caloundra.

Best Places to Swim

Golden Beach – hugging the shores of the Pumicestone Passage, this beach is ideal for swimmers with the waters being far calmer than the other Caloundra surf beaches.
Bulcock Beach – is popular with families who have young children, as there’s often warm paddling pools on the sand to splash in at low tide.
Kings Beach – White sandy beaches, rock pools, an oceanfront saltwater swimming pool and a gentle beach break with protected swimming areas, makes for the ideal spot to enjoy a swim.

Best Places to Surf

Caloundra has some great surfing spots where you can catch heaps of good quality waves with a couple of good point breaks.

Dicky Beach – A protected beach break
Moffat Beach – A good right hand point break, handles big swells. Best in S-E swell, SE-W wind.
Shelly Beach – An inconsistent beach break.
Kings Beach – A beach break that is protected in summer. W-NE winds.
Currumundi – An excellent beach break in any swell. SW-NW winds. Powerful barrels.
