Coastal Pathway: Dicky Beach to Currimundi Lake

Currimundi
1.5km
Trail type
Skill Level
One-way Length
One-way

A coastal path that starts in the bushland at the end of Dicky Beach and takes you through a shaded pathway to the eastern end of Currimundi Lake.

SUITABILITY
Suitable for walkers and recreational cyclists and is an easy grade.

HIGHLIGHTS
This is an easy 2 kilometre one-way walk or cycle that is part of the Sunshine Coast Coastal Pathway. Walkers have the option to walk along the beach or on the path through beautiful coastal bushland – a great path for hotter days and for recreational cyclists.

The path takes you across a bridge over Coondibah Creek that gives you a more expansive view of the beach. The creek is also a local dog swimming hole. Continue northwards and you will reach the sandspit of Currimundi Beach and Lake Curriumundi.

TAKE CARE
Bikes on pathway can come through quite quickly so dogs must be on leash for everyone's safety. Give dogs free time at the lake.

AFTERWARDS
At the Currimundi Beach end stop and enjoy refreshments at the local coffee shop (Coco’s Beach Café). Alternatively, you can continue along the pathway through the trees, beside the lake to Frank McIvor Park. When you reach your turning point, head back to Ann St.

HOW TO GET THERE
To the starting point: Park your car at Dicky Beach and then head towards the surf club and you’ll see the pathway continue on past the club.

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

You can't beat a sunrise or sunset walk along here. A mix of options for where you walk, whether along the path and boardwalk, or along the beach. I always come across friendly locals that give a smile or a hello. No inclines so a perfect, relaxing walk for two legged and even four legged creatures.

A great bike ride suitable for primary aged children. My 5 and 8 year old boys enjoy the easy ride and I love that this is an activity the whole family can do.

A lovely coastal walk combining ocean views, sections of shady coastal canopy and lots of friendly locals with their canine friends.

I love this walk! A wonderful mix of ocean views, wetlands and lots of birdlife. Great walk to do early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
