Relaxed north-coast village under Mount Coolum. Here's what you need to know before you buy, from a buyer's agent who works the Sunshine Coast every day.
Coolum Beach has a proper village feel. Cafés line David Low Way, Point Perry has the lookout, and Mount Coolum sits behind it all.
Lifestyle buyers love it, and that keeps demand strong. It's quieter than Mooloolaba but still has everything you need.
