Moffat Beach, Sunshine Coast. Australia.

in Worldmappin8 months ago

We had just picked up the only parkrun we had not done on the Sunshine Coast which is about a hour and half north of Brisbane. There are lots of great beaches on the Sunshine Coast and Moffat is one of my favourites on the southern end of this 60 stretch of coast line. It is a little bit quieter than some of the more famous places but you still have to be early to get a car park on a nice day.

This beach side suburb just north of Caloundra was named after James Campbell Moffat a chemist from Brisbane, just imagine being able to buy 20 acres of undeveloped beach front land in 1882. I am sure it was not easy getting enough money even back then and the trying to build on it but how things have changed with a couple of cranes now building apartment blocks on the sky line.

They would have some great views from these beach front apartments.

They have a made a 4km out and back trail along the Coastal pathway between Dicky Beach and Moffat Heads. I will have to try it out one day.

The surf themed local play ground and shops were very neat and tidy.

Tooway Creek and Lake empties into the ocean cutting its own path when they get a lot of rain or maybe it fills up on high tide and empties again on low tide.

We had a short walk and swim to cool off and relax after the hot and sweaty parkrun at Harmony Boulevard.

Nice place. Thanks for sharing nice beach photo really apprecaite it, as a beach goers. Enjoy....

!INDEED beaches are great places to visit!

A perfect day out! Moffat is a coastal gem, so full of character and history! I like that there’s still a balance between development and natural beauty with the coastal pathway. Thanks for sharing this little escape.

A great day trip to get away from the over crowded big city.

It’s a great kind of reset. Peaceful, quiet, and just far enough to feel like a real break.😍

This is a very nice beach, big and wide. A good place to visit and be with nature.

!INDEED there are a few good ones in Australia.

Nice place to explore though, it's nice that you have a good day with your wife.☺️

!INDEED A wonderful time at the beach

That was a wonderful adventure. I am happy for you guys. !BBH

A really nice part of the world

Cheers, it was a great time!

Great
The place looks calm and beautiful

The waves can have a nasty little shore dump.

Moffat Beach looks definitely stunning! The coastal pathway is indeed lovely. Thanks for sharing this wonderful beach. Have a great day!

!INDEED Stunningly beautiful

You have shared a very nice travel post. And the place you have traveled to. I was very interested in knowing about this place and I came to know about this place by reading your post. And here you can enjoy such a beautiful natural view from the sea. It is really very nice. And you have given details about this place in this travel. Which will give joy to others to travel. Best wishes to you my friend.

Thanks for the kind words and best wishes to you too!

I always wanted to explore more of the Sunshine Coast—those early beach mornings hit different.

!INDEED the mornings are my favorite time of the day.

This looks like an amazing day at the beach! I also loved reading through the quick history of Moffat Beach! It really is amazing how a place is transformed into what it is now, several years after it was purchased! Hope you had a fun time there!

I enjoy finding out a bit of the history of a place that we get to visit. Thanks for dropping by.
