Great place for a break. Some of the best views on the Coast. Parking and Toilets. Seating and shelter. Can access the beach via stairs.
Nick O'Neill
A pleasant park with great views! Worth seeing on the way to the beach.
Karen Morris
Great place for families and children. There is a childrens playground and BBQ area's all right on the beachfront of Mooloolaba. You can also walk the pathway up to Alexanda headland and enjoy the views or walk onto the beach and look at the rockpools.
Peter Blood
Pretty hard to beat, sitting in the carpark with a burger and a capucino, blue sky, blue sea, whale-watchers in the distance, yachties flapping in the breeze, lots of girls walking, kids riding scooters and bikes and Segways and folks generally looking damned fine. Once they finish the works-in-progress around the pathways and gardens, this place is gonna be hard to beat!! Good luck getting a carp...
Laura B
Beautiful spot to enjoy the stunning views, great footpaths and the sound of the waves crashing over the rocks! This is a beautiful and somewhat quiet spot and such a treasure! I can’t wait to visit again and enjoy the promenade and people watching!
