Starting from the car park at the end of Kingsford Smith Parade, Moffat Beach, this walk explores the coastline of Caloundra, visiting 4 beaches along with lots of other landmarks. Pack your swimmers, apply that last layer of sunscreen and get ready to be blown away by the amazing views of Coral Sea throughout this journey. Passing by Bulcock, Kings, Shelly and Moffat beaches, you’ll have plenty of options to cool off. Shelly and Moffat beaches even allow your dog to swim with you on designated time frames. The track is partially concrete, boardwalk and grass. You’ll be going through some parks and other recreational areas as well. There’s a restaurant midway where you can refuel and rest after all that action. Also, you can make this a one-way walk in both directions if you arrange transportation. You’ll have to come quite early if you want to avoid the crowd. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
