You’ve just discovered the Sunshine Coast’ best kept coastal secret! At nine kilometres in length, stretching from Point Cartwright in the north, to Currimundi Lake in the south, Kawana Beach is one of the Sunshine Coast’s longest stretches of golden sand. The Kawana Waters region is the dream spot for enjoying alfresco picnics at La Balsa Park along the Mooloolah River, or spotting whales and dolphins frolicking in the sea beyond the Point Cartwright Lighthouse.

Getting Here
From Cartwright to the Currimundi Creek
Experience the magic of a coastal rainforest at the Mooloolah River National Park, or via one of the scenic trails at the Currimundi Lake Conservation Park. Alternatively, choose your own adventure at Lake Kawana, with kayaking, canoeing, outrigging, and dragon-boat racing all on the agenda.
Hope you’re hungry
Be sure to pay Your Mates Brewing Co at Warana a lunchtime visit, where you’ll get to enjoy plenty of moreish fare (onion rings with beer cheese, anyone?), plus a glass of their beloved brew. For something on the fresher side, be sure to check out the Kawana Waters Artisans & Farmers Market, or soak up the waterfront views while tucking into Greek fare at Vrina Mezze Bar.
Putting a spring in your step
If you’re looking for something to keep the whole family entertained, look no further than the Sunshine Coast’s first indoor trampoline park, Big Boing, with over 50 interconnected trampolines to tackle. Your kids can also burn some more energy and channel their inner Spiderman by climbing the walls (literally) at Bould Move.
