Practical details

First Bay Coolum, Queensland, Australia

Why it's worth checking out

First Bay is a lovely beach at Coolum Beach, on the Sunshine Coast. A strong 4.7 rating from 384 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved local spot.

The appeal is a beautiful, relaxed cove — a sheltered bay popular for swimming, surfing and soaking up the sun, framed by the headland and the coastal walk, right by the easygoing town of Coolum. It's a genuine local favourite and a lovely spot to spend part of a day.

Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal patrols, so check current details and swim between the flags where patrolled. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.7 from 384 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
