The Neighborhood:

Alexandra Headland, known by the locals as 'Alex', is a coastal town situated on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. The township has a relaxed and laid back atmosphere that complements the soothing rolling surf and inviting beaches. Alexandra Headland is also ringed by Mooloolaba, Buderim and Maroochydore with a superb coastal sweep to the north and bush foothills to the west.



Alexandra Headland's main attraction is its magnificent coastal frontage of beach, headland and parks extending for kilometres north and south. The swimming beach is patrolled by the Alexandra Headland Surf Club. On any day, visitors can enjoy watching the surfers, or better yet join them. There are many places to sign up for surf lessons and rent boards. For the skaters and bikers, there is an outdoor skate park right alongside the beach. Also provided are picnic and barbecue facilities; so why not enjoy lunch on the barbie with family and friends.



While Alexandra Headland has maintained its small town charm, it is only minutes from major Sunshine Coast shopping centres and attractions.



Getting Around:

Alexandra Headland is one of the Sunshine Coast's most walkable beachside locations. From the property, you can easily stroll to the beach, local cafes, restaurants, parks, and scenic coastal pathways. The popular coastal boardwalk connects Alexandra Headland with Mooloolaba and Maroochydore, making it easy to explore the area on foot while enjoying stunning ocean views.



Public transport is readily available, with bus services operating along the Sunshine Coast's coastal corridor and providing convenient access to Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Cotton Tree, Caloundra, and other nearby destinations.



For guests travelling by car, the property is centrally located with easy access to major roads and attractions across the Sunshine Coast. Sunshine Coast Airport is approximately 15 minutes away, while Brisbane Airport is around 1 hour and 20 minutes by car.



Rideshare services, taxis, e-scooters, and bicycle hire options are widely available, offering convenient ways to explore the local area. Whether you're heading to the beach, dining out, or planning a day trip to Noosa or the Hinterland, getting around is simple and stress-free.

Fab holiday house

Bright, beautiful and beachy. The house was just what we needed to host a wonderful weekend gathering of friends and family. Everything was clean, easy to find and even the signs were pretty! So close to cafes and the beach, the location was great. Our hosts were super responsive and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thanks for letting us stay!
