WELCOME to 2025! I hope you had a chance to rest and recharge over the festive period.
Join Clean-up for the hatchlings
If you’d like to help baby turtle hatchlings have a clear run to the ocean, come along to Clean up for the Hatchlings event at 6 am, Saturday, February 1, at several local beach clean-up locations, including Coolum and Point Arkwright – Yaroomba beach.
We’ll meet back at Coopers Lookout Park in Buddina from 8 am to enjoy a FREE BBQ and other fun activities, and most importantly, to weigh and sort the collected debris.
All our collected litter information will go to the Australian Marine Debris Initiative database and will help encourage source reduction discussions.
Register today at events.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and please remember to wear sun-safe clothing, closed shoes and help us make this a single-use plastic-free event by bringing along your own reusable water bottle.
This event is proudly run in partnership with Reef Check Australia, SEA LIFE Trust and Noosa Council.
Find your perfect park match
While the parks and beaches in Coolum are some of the best around, it is nice to head out and visit public areas further afield. The “Beaches and parks directory” is a handy website to help you discover the Sunshine Coast’s best parks and playgrounds for every age and interest. This handy website includes an interactive map, an aerial view and will help you locate park facilities. If you are looking for inspiration and ideas to get out and about over summer, try the beaches and parks directory on Council’s website.
