Suburb Spotlight: Caloundra

Coastal Living at the Southern End of the Sunshine Coast

When it comes to Sunshine Coast living, Caloundra offers that perfect mix of beachside lifestyle, local community, and property options that suit a wide range of buyers.

Located at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, Caloundra is often the first stop for people relocating to the area and for good reason. Whether you’re after surf beaches, cafes, coastal walks, or property with future growth potential, Caloundra ticks a lot of boxes.

As a local buyer’s agent, I work with families, investors, and lifestyle seekers who want to secure their ideal property on the Coast and Caloundra continues to attract attention for its convenience, value, and laid-back atmosphere.

Why Buyers are Looking at Caloundra

Caloundra has long been known as a relaxed coastal town, but in recent years, the property market here has really started to heat up. According to realestate.com.au, the average house price in Caloundra currently sits at $985,000, making it more accessible than some of the Sunshine Coast’s northern beach suburbs while still offering that beachside lifestyle buyers love.

It's worth noting that demand is on the rise. Data shows a 14% increase in buyer interest for Caloundra, which reflects the growing appeal of this region for both locals and interstate buyers.

If you're looking for a mix of established homes, units, and newer developments all within easy reach of the coastline, Caloundra might just be the suburb for you.

The Caloundra Lifestyle

Caloundra delivers everything you’d expect from a coastal town: surf beaches, waterfront parks, and a growing café scene. I’m a big fan of the local coffee shops, in fact, I wrote this after grabbing a coffee from Slide Coffee, one of my favourites.

There’s a casual energy to Caloundra that makes it popular with families, retirees, and even those commuting to Brisbane thanks to its location at the southern gateway of the Sunshine Coast.

You'll find a range of beaches here, each with its own personality from surf breaks at Dicky Beach to the calmer waters of Golden Beach, perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding.

The Esplanade is lined with cafes, restaurants, and boutique stores, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors, grab a coffee, or take in the ocean views without needing to leave your suburb.
