BEACH BEAT COOLUM

Beach Beat Coolum is a surf-focused shop for people who want to buy, hire, repair or learn more about their equipment. The Coolum store is at 17/1778 David Low Way and is one of three Beach Beat locations on the Sunshine Coast, alongside shops in Alexandra Headland and Caloundra. The business has been operating on the coast since 1986, giving it a long local connection to the region’s surfing community.

The range covers new surfboards from leading international brands, as well as wetsuits, leashes, fins, tail pads, board bags, surf wax and other accessories. Shoppers can also browse surf clothing, sunglasses, footwear, swimwear, hats and bags. Beach Beat’s online store includes items such as surf wax, straw hats and gift cards, while the full selection of accessories and apparel is available to explore in-store. If something is not listed online, the business recommends contacting the preferred shop to check availability.

For customers looking for a more affordable option, the Coolum shop carries second-hand surfboards in-store. The website says these used boards are assessed by the surfboard specialists and may include longboards, shortboards and other shapes. Staff can help match a board to a customer’s needs and experience level, which makes this a practical stop for beginners buying their first board, intermediate surfers trying a different size or shape, and anyone who would rather not purchase new.

Beach Beat also offers surfboard hire, custom surfboard orders, consignment surfboards and major or ding repairs. The team is made up of experienced surfers, including some professional surfers, and can share advice about equipment and the local surf scene. Visitors from outside the area can ask for information about surf breaks and local conditions, while regular Sunshine Coast surfers can come in for gear advice or help with a board. Whether you are shopping solo for a replacement leash, comparing used boards, arranging a repair or choosing a gift for a surfer, Beach Beat Coolum offers a specialist alternative to a general clothing or sporting goods shop.
