Family Escape to Mooloolaba
Updated: Mar 09, 2025
Beautiful Mooloolaba is one of the Sunshine Coast's most family friendly beaches with a host of fun things to do, for a day, weekend or a family holiday.
Not just a fun-packed destination for the young and young at heart, Mooloolaba has also been awarded the 4th best beach in all of Australia by the global travel website Trip Advisor.
And what’s more, there is a wide range of incredible family-friendly accommodation options, including spacious self-contained apartments, perfectly located to soak up those award-winning beach views.
With its stunning white sandy beach (which is patrolled 365 days a year) and abundance of rock pools full of colourful sea creatures, it's easy to spend the entire day swimming, exploring, playing games and picnicking on the sand.
But there are plenty of other activities that the whole family will enjoy from dining at the beachfront surf club to taking a river cruise or even a family sleepover at SEA LIFE.
SEA LIFE is one of the Sunshine Coast's premier attractions and a must visit for the chance to explore, learn and interact with thousands of marine life throughout 11 amazing and unique zones.
From a discovery cruise to an exhilarating ocean jet boat ride, there's some great family adventures to be had on the water. Choose from a thrilling jet boat experience surfing waves or join a marine discovery tour that includes a buffet lunch and pelican feeding. And at the end of the day there's also the option to enjoy a stunning and relaxing sunset sail on a canal and river cruise.
After all that activity, when the kids have worked up an appetite, there's some excellent family friendly dining spots to be found around Mooloolaba along the beach front Esplanade or enjoy harbour views from The Wharf Mooloolaba.
And for dessert, what could be better than strolling the boardwalk with a gelati or frozen yoghurt followed by a swing and slide adventure in one of the many fantastic kid’s playgrounds.
