Coolum Beach – 24h Dog Friendly (Off‑Leash) Beach, Coolum QLD
Coolum Beach is one of the Sunshine Coast’s most iconic coastal destinations, offering a long, open surf beach with rolling waves, soft sand, and a lively foreshore atmosphere. While much of Coolum Beach is patrolled and family‑friendly, it also includes a 24‑hour off‑leash dog beach—one of the most popular dog‑friendly coastal stretches in the region.
The off‑leash zone sits at the northern end of Coolum Beach and provides a wide, open area perfect for dogs who love running, swimming, and exploring. With easy access, nearby parking, and a natural creek environment at Stumers Creek, it’s a favourite for both locals and visitors.

This stretch includes open surf, sandy flats, and access to Stumers Creek, offering a mix of beach and shallow water play.
