Hugging the shores of the Pumicestone Passage, Golden beach is perfect for boating, fishing and swimming in calmer waters than Caloundra’s nearby surf beaches.
A coastal path winds its way to central Caloundra, passing shady barbecue areas close to playgrounds that will keep the children occupied for hours. Boaties will find some excellent boat ramp facilities to launch their craft.
So throw your beach towel in your bag and let them show you around…
Make tracks to the Pumicestone Passage - a 35 kilometre ecological marvel that forms part of the Moreton Bay Marine Park. Choose your own adventure as you make your way through the sparkling azure blue water either on your own pontoon boat from Bill’s Boat & Bike Hire or stand-up paddle board or kayak from Golden Beach Hire. From there get your adrenaline pumping with Caloundra Jet Ski or an electric hydrofoil lesson with Sunshine Coast Boardsports. Pro tip: stick around for the afternoon and watch the sky turn dusky pink as the sun sets over the Glass House Mountains with Caloundra Cruise - if you’re looking for one of the best things to do in Caloundra, this is it.
