Reviews of Boardwalk View Of Mt Coolum
Simone Samuels
I frequently walk down here from Mt Coolum beach access 94. It's a magnificent view of Mt Coolum and the ocean. Easy walk along the boardwalk.
Kerbray
A short 15 minute boardwalk, but some great views of Mount Coolum and the surrounding landscape. Great to take dogs on leash, with the walk being quite flat and suitable for push chairs too.

15 min board walk and you are on the beach. Some nice walking and cycling tracks too. Good view of the mount and nice open beach. Make sure to take cover and sun protection as usual. Better and less crowded beach compared to other super crowded beaches in Sunshine coast.
Catherine Zheng
Must do if you visit Noosa and surrounds!!!Beautiful walk to the beach and fantastic view of Mount Coolum.
Peter Lausberg
Board walk makes beach access available to wheelchairs. Ends in a viewing platform overlooking the beach. Gentle sloping beach, patrolled at times. The elevated board walk through the forest is worth it even without the beach!
