Just over an hour's drive from Brisbane, the coastal city of Caloundra is both accessible and feature packed.
From the centre of this seaside township, holiday-makers have immediate access to at least five world-class beaches and a wide selection of recreational opportunities that range from sailing to kite surfing.
If you like fishing, local waters are legendary. Every year, the tailor 'run' on the ocean beaches, and there's nothing like catching a feed of silver bream or whiting from your own runabout in Pumicestone Passage.
Pumicestone Blue Resort is located at the intersection of Bulcock and Centaur Streets and only 150 metres from the sparkling waters of the Pumicestone Passage and Bulcock Beach.
As well as convenient access to five beautiful surf and calm water beaches, you'll also be handy to the many convenience stores and popular take-away outlets and restaurants nearby.
The Stockland Shopping Centre with a Coles, Kmart and 50 specialty shops is only a 350 metre walk away.
What's more, within a 1km radius of Pumicestone Blue, there is a botanical garden, a croquet lawn and several football grounds.
Kings Beach (a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk) is probably Caloundra's most popular surfing beach. Patrolled by lifeguards from the North Caloundra Surf Life Saving Club, this pretty stretch of sand on the southern side of Caloundra Heads is fringed by tall Norfolk Island pines and has long been a popular spot for morning walks and picnics.
For those who prefer quieter waters, Bulcock and Golden Beaches are the perfect answer to your quest for sand and sun. Protected from the ocean swell by Bribie Island, these beaches are a popular haven for families with young ones.
Within half an hour's drive of Pumicestone Blue are dozens of hinterland towns offering a surprising variety of restaurants, markets, craft centres and local produce.
These include the ever popular Maleny and Montville.
