Coolum Beach Holiday Park: Why should I stay at this Coolum caravan park?
The Coolum Beach Holiday Park on the Sunshine Coast is right next to the beach. This Coolum caravan park offers air-conditioned villas as well as powered sites.
The Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane in Queensland is one of Australia’s most popular holiday strips. It is made up of a series of towns, all of which have different vibes. Pricy Noosa offers top drawer shopping on Hastings Street and walks in the Noosa National Park. Mooloolaba is family friendly. Marcoola and Mudjimba Beach are close to the Sunshine Coast Airport. And Kings Beach, Dicky Beach and Moffat Beach give highly developed Caloundra plenty of energy.
Coolum Beach tends to be a little more chilled out and grown up. It’s a popular golf destination and there’s plenty of green space in the hinterland.

Coolum Beach is also a relatively cheap place to stay if you book yourself into the Coolum Beach Holiday Park. As Australian caravan parks go, this one has landed itself in a pretty magical position. The Coolum Beach Holiday Park is in the parkland behind Coolum Beach, sandwiched in by the Coolum Beach Hotel and Coolum Surf Club. You’ve got the beach and two good places to eat and drink within a few footsteps.
