This section of the iconic Coastal Walk is a 4km path linking Mudjimba Beach to Marcoola Beach with multiple opportunities to stop, rest and refresh along the way.

SUITABLILITY
Suitable for older walkers or active families – younger children will need bikes or scooters if completing the full 4km (one way).

HIGHLIGHTS
Sunrises and sunsets along this stretch of the coastline are beautiful, as views over Old Woman Island are spectacular. Popular with surfers, this section is usually less crowded than Alexandra Headland and Noosa. On Saturdays, Mudjimba Beach Surf Life Saving Club and park area is the starting point for Park Run members so avoid the early morning congestion between 6:30am – 7:30am. Enjoy the beautiful swarms of butterflies that harbour in the trees along the pathway during the autumn months. Both Mudjimba Beach and Marcoola Beach have excellent park facilities for children to enjoy and amenities. Local shops at each location are perfect for refreshments or a coffee stop.

AFTERWARDS
Take a dip in the ocean to cool off, especially deserved if you’ve done the path on foot.

HOW TO GET THERE
To the starting point: Mudjimba Beach is easily accessible form David Low Way along Mudjimba Beach Road. There is plenty of parking along the esplanade or in the beachside park and Life Saving area. Alternatively, you can start the walk at Marcoola – parking on the esplanade here is ample.
To the end point: The end point is the same as the starting point.
