Markets, walks, hikes

Australia's largest artisan market. Art, food, and produce under the fig trees.

Produce, bread, cheese, seafood, and coffee on Weyba Road.

A local plant and produce market, quieter than Eumundi.

Makers and food stalls, then a swim.

Boardwalk to Tea Tree Bay and Dolphin Point. Watch for dolphins, turtles, and koalas.

A short shaded walk between the main beach and Little Cove. Good at sunrise or sunset.

Flat paved walk along the river. Pelicans, boats, and a coffee stop.

A quiet trail with shallow lake views and a lot of birds.

Lakeside paths, shade, and picnic spots.

Timber buildings, galleries, and a cafe, especially on a non-market day.

A short paved climb to a 360 degree view. Best at golden hour.

Rock steps up the volcanic dome, with ocean views from Double Island Point to Caloundra.

A steady climb with platforms over Mount Coolum, the river, and the coast.

The King of the Mountain climb. Steep, with chains near the top. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours.

Rainforest, a waterfall, and rock pools. Worth the drive on a warm day.
