This beach is a great spot for a family vacation. It can get pretty crowded on public holidays, but the lively atmosphere is worth it. It's about a 2-hour drive from Brisbane. Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it to pay $12.50 for indoor parking to save time and hassle.

The beach is stunning and surrounded by great restaurants, but it can get a bit noisy at times. However, if you take a walk along the beach in the evening, the noise fades away and you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with the sea breeze. 💗

This beach is truly special, with friendly people who greet you as they walk by. The Mooloolaba Esplanade has fantastic shops and restaurants to explore. Grab a beer and take in the beautiful view. The atmosphere at Mooloolaba is unbeatable - it's even better than Noosa!

I really enjoy this beach because it has all the amenities you could need - showers, restrooms, a surf club, covered eating areas, a playground, ample parking, and it's conveniently located near many shops. It's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot and avoid the crowds. The sunrises here are also stunning.
