Absolutely Beachfront: Coolum Beach Holiday Park

Perfectly positioned between the sand and the village, Coolum Beach Holiday Park is all about location, lifestyle and laid-back coastal charm. With an absolute beachfront position, guests can step straight from their site or cabin onto the sand — no roads, no hassle, just ocean at the doorstep.

On the other side of the park, Coolum’s vibrant village centre is just metres away. Cafés, restaurants, boutique shopping and the Surf Club are all within easy walking distance, meaning the car can stay parked for the entire stay.

It’s also a proudly dog-friendly getaway, welcoming four-legged family members year-round. Much of Coolum Beach is dog-friendly too, making it the perfect choice for travellers who don’t want to holiday without their pups.

Wake to the sound of waves, enjoy golden ocean sunrises, and settle into a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere defined by open space and sea breezes.

Why Autumn is the Sweet Spot

Autumn is one of the very best times to experience Coolum. The days remain warm and sunny, the ocean is beautifully swimmable after summer, and the crowds begin to ease.

It’s the perfect season for climbing Mount Coolum, enjoying long coastal walks with your dog, taking early morning swims, lingering over long lunches, and finishing the day with a sunset stroll along the beach — all without the peak-season hustle.
