New boardwalk to explore along popular coastal pathway

A spectacular new section of coastal boardwalk is ready to explore along a much-loved Sunshine Coast headland.

Locals and visitors can now take advantage of the sweeping views and stunning coastline along Caloundra Headland near Kings Beach.

The new 160m long, 3-metre-wide boardwalk provides a safer and more accessible opportunity for those walking, jogging or riding.

This upgraded section has replaced the existing route along the Esplanade and offers seating and pause points for the community to relax, rest and appreciate the views. It also has turtle friendly lighting which produces a soft glow for early morning and evening activity.

The new link is now part of a combination of on and off-road networks, which forms the total 73-kilometre coastal pathway route from Bells Creek in the south to Coolum in the north.

Although the coastal pathway and boardwalk will be open, minor works will continue to take place for the next month or so. These include some electrical works and planting and are not expected to have any impact on our community.

This project is in partnership with the Queensland Government’s 2022–24 Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program.
