Up for a challenge? ⛰ Hike Mount Coolum for breathtaking 360° views of both the ocean and hinterland! 🥾

➡️ We suggest you allow 1½ hours for the return walk. It will take about 45 mins to 1 hour to reach the summit and 30 minutes to get back down to the car park.

➡️ The first section of the hike is a nice shaded stroll through native bushland and forest. The path then becomes quite steep as it traverses the rock face, so pause for a while to catch your breath and snap a photo of the breathtaking coastal views. Now your thighs will be burning as you continue to take the rocky steps up towards the top of the mountain.

➡️ The rocks can be very slippery when wet so be very careful if it is wet. Always remember to stay on the designated tracks and stay clear of any cliff edges. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the national park so you will have to leave them at home.

Did you know that Mount Coolum is an ancient volcanic formation that rises 208 meters above sea level? ⛰

Created 26 million years ago, Mount Coolum is a laccolith, formed when a dome-shaped bulge of magma cooled below the Earth's surface.

It’s one of the best spots for panoramic views of the Sunshine Coast, with trails leading you through lush nature right to the summit! 🌿

Whether you're hitting the surf or hiking up for a view, Coolum Beach offers adventure and beauty at every turn.

The Mount Coolum boardwalk is an incredible sunset spot, with both views of the mountain and ocean. It's a little bit hidden so here is how you find it...

Put 'Breezeway Street Beach Access' into your maps app. Once you have parked walk towards the shrubbery and you will find a beach shower at the start of the trail.

Now follow the boardwalk for about 5 minutes all the way to the beach. Once you have reached the beach turn around and you will be treated to this view!
