Kings Beach

Kings Beach is a patrolled ocean beach at Caloundra on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, within the Sunshine Coast Council area. It is notable for its sheltered swimming conditions, heritage-listed seawater ocean pool built in 1937, and views across Moreton Bay to Moreton Island. Bordered by a grassy headland, parkland and the Caloundra Coastal Walk, it is a central recreational beach with year-round swimming, family facilities and surf lifesaving services.

Visitors can expect a wide sandy beach with a patrolled swimming area, a large heritage-listed ocean pool at the southern end, and a headland with lookouts. The foreshore has parkland, barbecues, playgrounds and paved promenades connecting to the Caloundra Coastal Walk. The beach faces east-northeast with generally sheltered surf, cafes and amenities directly behind the beach, and views to Moreton Island on clear days. Lifeguards patrol during daylight hours.

Kings Beach developed as Caloundra's main ocean surf beach in the early 20th century as the town grew as a seaside resort. The Kings Beach Bathing Pavilion and Ocean Pool were constructed in 1937 and are heritage-listed for their interwar design and role in the development of surf lifesaving and seaside recreation on the Sunshine Coast.

Located on the traditional lands of the Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) people, the Caloundra coastline holds cultural significance for its coastal resources and connection to Country. Today Kings Beach is a central community and recreational gathering place for residents and visitors.
