Caloundra

SPOIL YOURSELF BY MOVING TO THIS PICTURESQUE TOWN

A picturesque coastal town in Queensland, and a safe, relaxing and enjoyable place to spend your retirement years. Caloundra’s location is privileged: near two airports and with easy access to all the facilities and amenities on the Sunshine Coast.

Here you can enjoy beautiful sunsets, clear air and a quality lifestyle by the ocean. There are plenty of beaches nearby, some great for surfers and some with calm, safe waters. There are lifeguard patrols in some stretches and some rocky spits perfect for fishing. Along the coast there are parks with quality facilities like BBQs, picnic tables and boardwalks.

The town has a relaxed atmosphere and, at the same time, all the amenities and shops you need: big supermarkets, department stores, plenty of eateries and specialty shops.

Those interested in history and culture will also enjoy Caloundra. They can visit the heritage-listed Caloundra Lighthouses and the largest aviation museum in Australia, the Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra Airport.

It’s a great area to be discovered by downsizers, as the value of the region will only increase over the next decades.
