For the love of Coolum
TREAD LIGHTLY
A beautiful coastal paradise that rests on the traditional lands of the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) people. We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) and their deep connection to the coastal environment. Enjoy our stunning beaches, wonderful wildlife and natural environment.
Undoubtedly Coolum’s most loved places are our amazing beaches – where you might catch a wave on Coolum’s main beach, walk the dog at Stumers Creek or explore Coolum’s three secluded bays.
People aren’t the only ones who flock to our beaches. We have some really special visitors who rely on the region’s coastal environment.
We ask you, for the love of Coolum, please tread lightly. Download our Tread Lightly guide to help you explore with care and leave only footprints behind.
