While Mooloolaba beach is epic, have you ever had a massage in a salt cave, or created an artistic masterpiece over a glass of wine? There's plenty to see and do in Mooloolaba beyond the beach, including breathing in salt air of a different kind.
Shop and dine along the Esplanade
From fries served Amsterdam style in white cones, to the hip bars and boutique dress shops, Mooloolaba punches above its weight as a destination buzzing with places to have a drink and take a bite in between some solid retail therapy.
Get going with a coffee from one of the many umbrella-lined cafes along the Esplanade before hitting the shops. Here, you’ll find everything from jewellery, shoes, and resort wear to award-winning Italian and Asian fusion restaurants and plenty of quirky cafes or bars to refuel in before hitting the diverse retail strip some more.
Cruise along the coastal walk to the Spit
Mooloolaba Foreshore Boardwalk
Whether biking, walking or jogging, checking out the coastal pathway from Mooloolaba Esplanade to The Spit is a must.
Having undergone a recent renovation, explore the two-metre-wide, trail boardwalk section winding through a diverse range of vegetation directly behind the dunes.
With many entry points to the beach nestled between the pandanus and sheoak trees (casuarina), take your time checking out the surf along the way. At the end of the point, you’ll be able to see if anyone’s caught a fish and watch the various boats, kayaks, yachts and other marine craft make their way into the marina just metres away from you. #ahtheserenity
Explore it all on an EcoTekk Bike
Take a great holiday in Mooloolaba and turn it into an epic adventure with a ride on an electric bike!
Hire your electric bike, trike(!), scooter, or standard pushie from EcoTekk Electric Bikes for half a day (or half a week)... and let the explorations begin.
Cruise the beach sands, coastal pathways, and hidden nooks at your own pace, or deepen your understanding of the history, ecology and environment of the area with a guided tour. Your legs will thank you for the eBike on the cruise up the steep Alexandra Headlands coastal pathway section!
Create a masterpiece at Frida’s Paint n Sip
Paint n Sip art classes
For a night of fun and frivolity, grab your favourite vino, get the crew together and be ready to unleash your creativity at Frida’s Paint n Sip.
Here you could be sipping and painting anything from a pineapple on a bright pink background to a bunch of roses in a vegemite jar, all in the very good company of some decadent artisan cheeses.
Frida’s classes are laughter-packed affairs and no matter what artistic skills you have (or haven’t…), you’re bound to have a phenomenal night out. Let the brush strokes begin!

Restore and revive at Salt Caves Mooloolaba
Sea breezes are one thing, but have you ever immersed yourself in the remarkable properties of a salt cave for some salt therapy?
At Salt Caves Mooloolaba, you’ll find yourself in a true cave surrounded by the gentle pink tones of walls made from Himalayan salt layers, plus bricks and boulders lit from within to create a warm, gentle glow and a calming atmosphere.
Your nasal passages, respiratory system, and skin will benefit deeply from the salt therapy, which involves dispersing a dry salt aerosol within the cave, reproducing the natural microclimate of a salt cave. Enjoy a blissful massage, sauna, and other beauty treatments here too.
Let your worries float away at Zen Den
Chill out and let your worries drift away in the calm abode of Zen Den, a heavenly float and wellness day spa.
Here you can lose all sense of time and weight, floating in a beautifully aromatic float tank, treat yourself to a hot stone massage, a soothing facial and hand treatment, or try something totally different with Tibetan singing bowls and a healing massage. Can you feel your muscles loosening and the relaxation deepening already? Get to it!
Unwind and indulge at Waterfall Day Spa
Take yourself out of the hustle and bustle of energetic Mooloolaba into the serene tranquillity that encompasses Waterfall Day Spa.
Feel your heart rate slow as you spot the private running waterfall alongside the day spa and take in the calming aroma of essential oils and candles. Heaven!
A wonderful place for couples to get a massage together with a deep exfoliating spa ritual to create deliciously smooth skin.
