Getting Here
Salty waterway adventures
Explore the labyrinth of canals and waterways with Mooloolaba Canal Cruise, relax in luxurious comfort aboard Coastal Cruises Mooloolaba, or discover the region’s First Nations culture with Saltwater Eco Tours. For something with an extra kick of adrenaline, experience the magic of swimming with the whales alongside the crews at Sunreef Mooloolaba and The Pressure Project. Be sure to also add a stop at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast to your list for a glimpse into our underwater kingdom.
Trawler to table feasts
Mooloolaba is one of the busiest fishing ports on Australia’s eastern seaboard, so it goes without saying... you’ll want to try the seafood here. In the early morning, fleets of trawlers bring in tonnes of Mooloolaba prawns, swordfish, crabs, lobsters and export-grade tuna ready to eat, and the local restaurants take full advantage. Head to Spero for authentic Greek street food, fill up on modern Asian eats at Rice Boi, and taste the Sunshine Coast’s best local produce (read: mouth-watering seafood) at Pier 33.
Fun in and out of the water
Whether you’re diving beneath the waves or strolling alongside them, Mooloolaba brings a bucketload of beachside bliss to the party. First up, get your heart rate pumping with a brisk walk or cycle to the Mooloolaba Spit, where plenty of stunning spots to cool off await. Later on, keep the ocean views coming along the Esplanade as you wander through the array of boutique stores, before settling back with a well-earned sunset cocktail at The Wharf Mooloolaba.
Tap into wellness
Relax and rejuvenate as you immerse yourself in the soothing surroundings of the Salt Caves, or unwind with spa treatments at The Waterfall Day Spa, Thalassa Spa, Tank Bathhouse, and more.
Family friendly adventures
While it’s tempting to spend the whole day at the beach, you won’t want to miss the rest of the family-fun on offer at Mooloolaba. Your first stop? SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, before taking a tour on the Aquaduck Sunshine Coast, where kids can play captain and steer the Aquaduck across the river. There’s also plenty of beachside playgrounds to let the kids blow off some steam.
