COOLUM
POP 7905
Rocky headlands create a number of secluded coves before spilling into the fabulously long
stretch of golden sand and rolling surf of Coolum beach. With its budding cafe society, and
within easy reach of the coast's hot spots, it's an attractive escape from the more popular
and overcrowded holiday scene at Noosa and Maroochy.
Sights & Activities
For outstanding views of the coast, a hike to the top of Mt Coolum , south of town, is worth
