About Caloundra

Caloundra is the southern gateway to the Sunshine Coast, perched on a headland offering spectacular ocean and Pumicestone Passage views. The suburb's heritage town centre, diverse beaches (Kings Beach, Bulcock Beach, Shelly Beach), and growing cafe scene create a vibrant coastal community. Caloundra South's massive master-planned expansion is reshaping the broader precinct.

Development Potential

Moderate to high. The town centre supports medium-density and mixed-use development. Caloundra South PDA is one of the Sunshine Coast's largest growth areas. Headland sites with ocean views command exceptional premiums.
