Coolum Beach
The sleepy coastal village of Coolum Beach is experiencing a metamorphosis and blossoming into one of the most desirable locations in Australia to live and play. The lifestyle Coolum offers is an option many are whole-heartedly embracing in these changing times. Coolum's atmosphere comprises pleasant sea breezes drifting down the café-lined Esplanade, people laughing and smiling, and a very casual approach to living indeed.
Centrally positioned in the heart of the Sunshine Coast and enjoying kilometres of pristine white sand beaches stretching out in either direction, Coolum is becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination. The pleasant sea change atmosphere associated with Coolum is one of the major reasons for the present influx of retiring baby-boomers looking for a peaceful haven away from the unneeded pressures that come from living in the major urban areas to the south.
The surrounding national parks and wildlife preserves intertwined throughout this coastal community not only create a lush natural tapestry for you to experience Queensland's flora and fauna in their purest form, but also act a natural buffer to the large-scale development that has dramatically affected so many other areas along the coast.
Clear blue skies and sun-filled days also make this region one of the most beautiful areas to enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that's literally at your doorstep. You'll find yourself only a chip-shot away from five major golf courses dotted along the coastal strip, including the world famous Hyatt Regency Coolum, home of the Australian PGA - and if that isn't enough, the crystal blue Pacific beckons you all year long. Surf is always up, whether you're enjoying the shelter of any of Coolum's three tranquil bays, or exulting in the white water of the open beaches. If you're a surfer you'll think you've found heaven.
Coolum Beach's superior position rewards you with easy access to some of the finest international cuisine imaginable. Whether you prefer fine dining at any of the 5 star restaurants that line Noosa's fabulous Hasting Street, or a late night rendezvous in the heart of Mooloolaba, you're only a few kilometres away in either direction. For those of you looking for a little more pizazz in their lifestyle, Queensland's capital city of Brisbane is only 90 minutes by motorway and the Sunshine Coast Airport is serviced daily by direct flights to and from Sydney and Melbourne.
