Coolum - Point Perry
Edit SpotAbout
Plenty of hot grommets here at present, unless its dead flat their out there before & after school [and during when its epic]. There is a strong board-riders club but generally they are cool enough to brush localism.
Atmosphere:
Coffee Rock formations hold the shape of the beach intact most of the year so the breaks are generally consistant.
Three main areas -
The Beach Breaks between Stumers Creek and Point Perry - Typical Beackbreaks,
Point Perry - Rearly works, and
"Three Bays" Between Point Perry and Point Arkwright - Tidal dependant.
Additional Info:
Coolum was previously known for is alternative lifestyle community. This little hamlet just grewup with a late rush of development. So now parking around southern end of Coolum Beach is a bit hectic - especially on weekends. Zip 500 meters North up to Stumers Creek Road for the more mellow end of town.
