We just love Caloundra because it has something for everyone and is positioned both within easy access to both airports and every facility on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.You can drive yourself or arrive by train and there are local buses and ones to get you around the coast or to the airport. Caloundra itself has several large supermarkets and department stores plus a range of speciality shops for clothes, food and entertaining. To cater for all age groups and tastes, one can fine dine, have a relaxing pub meal or buy take away fish and chips to eat on the beach. There are tremendous facilities all along the coastline with free BBQ's and picnic tables on the beaches as well as in the parks, which also meet the beach. Swimming is good for both surfers and paddlers with 4 or 5 beaches within 10 minutes of Caloundra and one of it's greatest benefits is that families have safe quiet waters along with open surf and lifeguard patrolled stretches. All beaches are sandy but also have rock headlands to walk or fish from with nice elevated board walks and vantage spots to sit and admire the view. We love Caloundra and spend our time between UK, France, Brisbane and Caloundra because we find it one of the most relaxing, safe, enjoyable, quality lifestyle places in the World today. There are aren't many places where can one sit on the beach in the Lifesaver's Clubhouse and have a beer/wine and meal for $10 or sit in a fine dining restaurant admiring the sea views for $100 - it's the sort of relaxed place that attracts families and singles who want peace and quiet or night life.....all in a safe, friendly atmosphere.
