Alex Bluff Foreshore Park

Alex Bluff Foreshore Park sits on Alexandra Parade at Alexandra Headland, on the Sunshine Coast near Mooloolaba and Maroochydore. A much-loved foreshore park on the headland 'Bluff', it's a lovely green space by the sea — combining grassy areas, picnic spots and a foreshore walkway with stunning ocean views and a gorgeous clifftop setting, the kind of scenic, relaxed spot that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of a beautiful clifftop setting and spectacular coastal views: room to relax, picnic and take in the scenery, with the ocean stretched out before you and the coastal walkway right there, ideal for a picnic, a relax, a stroll or watching the surf. The headland's gorgeous outlook makes it a real highlight of the Alexandra Headland foreshore.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 280 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The park is free and open, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and being mindful near the clifftop edges — though for a picnic, a relax or those spectacular ocean views, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Alex Bluff Foreshore Park.
