First Bay Coolum - Lunchbreak in Paradise
The weather was getting better and better the past couple of days here at the sunshine coast after we got hit by the cold a few weeks ago. Today temperatures almost felt like summer is back. We took that chance and went to the beach for our lunchbreak.
Lunchbreak actually means that we´re done for the day and don´t work anymore :). I checked the surf forecast only to see which spot has less wind and we decided to drive a bit further north to the more protected First Bay in Coolum which is not as exposed as the main beach or our Beach in Mudjimba. Before we went down we had a look at the beach from Wilkinson Park and after seeing this we were sure we gonna stay here.
The neighbourhood opposite the beach is not that bad, definitely would love to live here with such a great beach and surf spot just over the street.
I´ve been here before many times and surfed here as well but coming down these stairs and see that beautiful golden beach and the crystal clear water still gives me goosebumps. It doesn´t get much better...at least for me.
After having a quick bite that we´ve prepared at home already (simply to expensive to eat outside all the time), I did what I love most. I climbed on all the cliffs and stones to get as much great photos of this awesome piece of nature as possible. In the past 3 years I almost forgot how amazing that place here is. Also water quality is much better than in Thailand for example.
There even were some small waves and a handful of surfers out.
If you walk to the south side of the beach and climb over some boulders you will reach an even more beautiful beach with less stones that is better for a swim. Two guys tried their luck with fishing...without success. At this point I would like to point out that I´ve actually never seen an Aussie catch some fish. Why is that? They´re al fishing but they never catch anything. The only guys in Australia I´ve seen catching some huge salmons were some indian immigrants a few years back.
After we´ve spent two hours swimming and sun bathing we drover around the corner to Coolum, grabbed a coffee and a Muffin and chilled a bit more at coolum beach park.
Thats what I call a prefect start into the weekend. Wake up early, get some work done, lunch at a beautiful beach, back home for a little bit more work. Now we relax a bit, down into the 35 degree spa (as soon as the sun is set it gets cold) and than two episode of Tulsa King (Sly Fan here)
Tomorrow I will tell you what I did yesterday. There is no real good surf at the moment so I need to stay fit with other things than surfing. :)

It's fantastic to hear that the weather has been improving at the Sunshine Coast! After enduring the cold for a few weeks, it must have been a delightful change to have temperatures that felt like summer again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, going to the beach for your lunch break sounds like the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful weather. It's always a good idea to check the surf forecast to find the spot with less wind, and opting for the more protected First Bay in Coolum was a wise choice. The view of the beach from Wilkinson Park must have been stunning, confirming that it was the ideal place to spend your time. Enjoy the warmth and relaxation!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it definitely was the best choice for that day. Great day out in the sun. Enjoy your weekend.
great part of the world, up there at Coolum, My parents first retired there 30 years ago before it got lots of development.

Thanks for stopping. Undoubtedly a beautiful place on earth. I´ve been on Mt Coolum yesterday morning...simply amazing. Can only have been better 30 years ago, it gets a bit crowded here at the sunshine coast.
Ha Mt Coolum is great too, I used to climb up the back way before they built the stairs at the front.
That does look stunning!
It truly does. A bit more swell would not harm that place ;)
That is a beautiful beach, definitely a great place to spend your day. Love all the photos you have taken xxx
Thank you so much! I could have not asked for a better day out in the sun and nature.
I'm living by the sea, but lately, we have had awful weather and I'm at home without going out... So, I had to open your posts and feed my "heart and soul"... 🤣
Great photos and that sandy beach is like paradise!

The photos you take beautiful, nature here are great @betterthanhome
Thank you 🙏
This is indeed the perfect start to the weekend... lovely place and your photos are stunning.
I agree, it's expensive to eat out all the time but I make lunch also to enjoy it somewhere in the nature instead of sitting in a restaurant 🙂
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much. True, furthermore this way I know what I´m eating :)
Wow, what beautiful photographs. The beach is similar to the beaches in Portugal. This muffin looks very good. Thanks for sharing with us 😊
Yes, Portugal and Australia are similar when it comes to beaches, especially south australia looks a bit like western coast of portugal
