Why it's worth checking out

Tickle Park sits on David Low Way right on the foreshore at Coolum Beach, on the Sunshine Coast. A much-loved beachside park, it's a popular family destination — combining open lawns, shaded picnic areas and a great playground with easy access to the Coolum beachfront and the relaxed atmosphere of the seaside town.

The appeal is that combination of a prime beachfront setting and family-friendly facilities: somewhere to picnic, relax or let the kids play with the beach right there, and Coolum's cafes, surf club and esplanade close by. It's a natural gathering point for families and beachgoers, perfect for soaking up the Coolum Beach atmosphere.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's a firm favourite. The park is free and open year-round, but facilities and any events vary, and it gets busy on warm weekends and over holidays, so it's worth checking the surrounds before a special trip — and taking sun protection — though for a picnic, a play or a day by the beach, you can generally just turn up and enjoy it.
