Discover our Sunshine CoastBeautiful one day, perfect the next.
Alexandra Headland, known by the locals as ‘Alex’, is situated on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Alex has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that complements the rolling surf and broad beaches.
Alex is the centre of a superb coastal sweep with Mooloolaba to the south, Maroochydore to the north and Buderim to the west.
The beach, headland and parks extend for kilometres north and south, with many opportunities for picnics and barbecues. The swimming beach is patrolled by the Alexandra Headland Surf Club (just five minutes’ walk from the Alexandra Park Conference Centre) and there is an outdoor skate park alongside the beach.
This area is part of the Coastal Pathway stretching from Pelican Waters Bell’s Creek in the south to Tewantin in the north. Adjacent to Alex Park is the Alex Forest Conservation Area. Within the walking trails of the 5.7 hectares of revegetated forest conservation area you’ll find a diversity of habitat including wet eucalypt open forest and lowland rainforest. The park is an important suburban wildlife preserve for ringtail possums and micro bats.
Alex is only minutes from Sunshine Plaza shopping centre and popular attractions. The region is home to major sporting competitions and events. There are local markets, surf and dive schools, art galleries and the Queensland Garden Expo. With world-class attractions such as Australia Zoo and SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast nearby, there’s plenty to see and do on the Sunshine Coast for children, young people, retirees and families.
