2. Kings Beach tidal pool & fountain

Visit Sunshine Coast

​Let’s be honest, we live on the magnificent Sunshine Coast for our pristine beaches, but often we don’t enjoy the sand and surf as much as we should! Your challenge is to get to the beach and explore these great water activities…. Kings Beach in Caloundra has it all:

• Kings beach a great swim location protected from volatile swell.
• Investigate rock pools
• Swim in the tidal pool
• Finish the day with fountain play

Opposite the fountain is Frocals located on the corner of Ormonde Terrace & De Vene Avenue where the local produce is fresh and the is coffee hot! Best of all, crowd favourite Frozen Sunshine iceblocks are available for good children. Be sure to quiz the kids about their favourite water activity and why.

3. Journey on the Mary Valley Rattler

Mary Valley Rattler

Step back in time on the Mary Valley Rattler and delve into our local history, with the railway that started before the Gympie gold rush! This challenge is more scenic than physical so it’s a perfect outing for the whole family. Grab a Frozen Sunshine iceblock from the café before you board, then sit back and reflect on how different life was in the past when it was slower but more labour intensive. The Mary Valley Rattler is a non-profit organisation that runs Wednesdays to  Sundays, be sure to check their timetable. This is a great half-day activity, alternatively make it a full day and spend the other half at Lake Alford Park, home to the Gold Museum, bird park and playground. 

4. TreeTop Challenge

TreeTop Challenge
