Caloundra is your backyard.
Skydives that land on the sand, Sunday street fairs, an aquarium up the coast, world-class beaches and skate nights — all within reach of your bunk.
Skydiving
Freefall over the Sunshine Coast and land right on the sand at Kings Beach — hands down the most unforgettable way to see Caloundra.

Caloundra Street Fair
