Coolum Beach & The Sunshine Coast

The final stay of our holiday was at Coolum Beach, a fantastic seaside town on the Sunshine Coast.  We stayed at Element on Coolum in a huge apartment, and made use of the pool both days.  The view across the pool to our room and balcony.




Coolum Beach merges into several other beaches north and south, and popular with the surfers, though not many big waves when we were there.




Whilst on the coast we explored some of the other beaches and towns.  To the south, Maroochydore is quite a bit larger than Coolum with larger resorts and busineses, still with a nice beach.




Just up the coast to the north is Peregian Beach, very similar to Coolum.  Not sure we will venture too far into the park next to the beach though...




Noosa is probably the most famous town on the Sunshine Coast, and we really enjoyed walking long the beach and around the town.  This is the view from the lookout down onto Noosa Heads.  A fantastic week away in a beautiful area, definitely a place we will return to again.
