Caloundra
Caloundra City is the southern entrance to the Sunshine Coast and remains one of the state's vintage holiday destinations. Drive an hour north of Brisbane along the Pacific Highway and you will know you have reached the start of the Sunshine Coast area when you spot the spectacular rock formations of the Glass House Mountains.
Taking the turn-off to Caloundra will lead you to a relaxed beachfront community which is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Pumicestone Passage to the south.
The city offers the charm of holidays gone by with the best of essential shopping and facilities. Caloundra's waterfront location also makes it a mecca for all kinds of water sports. The calm waters of Pumicestone Passage are popular for fishing, jet skiing, boating, while the ocean beaches lure surfers and surf paddlers. Caloundra is a particularly popular holiday destination for families.
