Sunshine Coast Council

A short coastline board walk past towering Norfolk Pines to one of the Sunshine Coast’s most spectacular headlands.

SUITABILITY

The boardwalk to Point Perry is suitable for walkers, prams and wheelchairs, a great outing for elderly people as its an easy grade on a stable surface with seats along the way. The boardwalk is also suitable for recreational cyclists – remember to ring your bell.



HIGHLIGHTS

From the Surf Club Follow the wide Coolum Boardwalk as it hugs the coastline for 600 metres to Point Perry, a rocky headland that marks the Southern Boundary of Coolum Beach. From here there are great ocean views north up the coast to Peregian and the Noosa Headland and south to the sheltered beach, First Bay, and rocky bluffs beyond. There are interpretive signs you can read along the way and shelters in Wilkinson Park, which Point Perry is a part of. Point Perry, like Point Arkwright, can be a great place for whale spotting during Spring.



AFTERWARDS

If you are feeling particularly energetic you can walk on for another 1.5 km to get to Point Arkwright. Alternatively you can return to Coolum where you can enjoy an ice cream, coffee or drink at the Coolum Beach shops, or pop into the Surf Life Saving Club, a great spot any time of the day.



Alternatively, from Point Perry you can head back to Coolum and stay on the path for another 2km approximately and head to Norrie Job Memorial Park and Stumers Creek.



HOW TO GET THERE

To the starting point: Start at the Coolum Surf Life Saving Club, which is at Coolum on David Low Way and the T junction of Beach Road. Mostly there are street parks available. With the ocean on your left, start walking southwards.



To the end point: The end point is the same as the starting point.
