Currimundi Lake & Surf Beach, Currimundi

The Sunshine Coast has some of the most popular beaches in Queensland, but it's still possible to find a few hidden gems. Just one hour north of Brisbane, Currimundi Lake Conservation Park combines coastal heathland with gentle lagoons and prime surf beach. The tracks leading through the park are accessible and offer up the chance to spot plenty of unique flora and fauna. Currimundi Lake itself is the perfect spot for families, with plenty of calm, shallow water for paddling. Hire kayaks and stand-up paddle boards from the nearby surf shop, or take a picnic to enjoy in the shade of the trees. Just beyond the sand dunes, you’ll find Currimundi Surf Beach, which can get some pretty decent surf breaks and is patrolled on weekends and school holidays.
