About Alexandra Headland
Alexandra Headland is a coastal suburb and patrolled surf beach on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, located between Mooloolaba and Maroochydore. Centred on a small headland with Alexandra Parade fronting the ocean, it is known for its wide sandy beach, consistent surf breaks, and oceanfront parklands. The area includes a surf life saving club, coastal walkway, and headland lookout, making it a central hub for swimming, surfing and coastal recreation.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a wide, sandy ocean beach backed by a grassy foreshore reserve and the rocky Alexandra Headland itself. The beach is patrolled by surf lifesavers and offers designated swimming areas, surf breaks along the headland, and rock pools at low tide. A paved coastal pathway runs along the foreshore connecting to Mooloolaba and Maroochydore, with lookouts from the headland, picnic areas, playgrounds, and cafes and the Alexandra Headland Surf Life Saving Club overlooking the beach.
