Golden Beach

Golden Beach stretches for over four kilometres along the Pumicestone Passage from Bulcock Beach to the mouth of Bells Creek. Hugging the shores of the Pumicestone Passage, Golden beach is perfect for boating, fishing and swimming in calmer waters than Caloundra’s nearby surf beaches.

A coastal path winds its way to central Caloundra, passing shady barbecue areas close to playgrounds that will keep the children occupied for hours. Boaties will find some excellent boat ramp facilities to launch their craft.

Choose your own adventure from a BBQ pontoon boat from Bill’s Boat & Bike Hire or stand-up paddle board or kayak from Golden Beach Hire, a Jet Ski Tour from Caloundra Jet Ski or a relaxing boat cruise with Caloundra Eco Cruise.

Combining investment appeal with a tight-knit community feel, Golden Beach is a family favourite. Whether you’re browsing the trendy gift shops and florists or enjoying the local culinary scene, this suburb offers a seamless balance of convenience and coastal charm.
