Our Region
We might be biased but we reckon Coolum is the best place on earth.
Tucked between Maroochydore and Noosa, you can’t miss our legendary landmark, Mount Coolum - the one with the flat top.
Whether you’re a day-tripper, visiting from interstate or overseas (when that’s allowed again!) you will be blown away by our stunning beaches, clean air, happy vibes and access to everything you could possibly want in a Queensland Destination.
Fun, food, wicked waves and awesome people. What more could you actually ask for?
Coolum’s name is believed to have derived from the Aboriginal word “gulum” or “kulum” meaning “blunt”. It is assumed this is in reference to Mount Coolum’s flat top and lack of a peak.
The Sunshine Coast is full of Indigenous history, including legends of how Mount Coolum lost its peak! Read more about the Dreamtime Legend here.
With the hinterland on our doorstep, we are blessed to have some of the richest and diverse farmland around with many open to the public or featured at Barns Lane!
We have a progressive, innovative and inspiring business community. You can learn more about our local chamber here.
Mount Coolum National Park provides a 1.6 km bushwalk with impressive 360-degree views of the coast.
With some of the best waves in Queensland, grab your board and check out our various breaks or book a surf lesson at Coolum Beach!
