Mt Coolum: Tanah St Loop
A circuit walk around the base of Mt Coolum, with many family packed features.
Suitability
This walk is suitable for families and all ages.
Highlights
This walk commences at Beach access No 94, Tanah St in Mt Coolum at the beginning of the boardwalk to Marcoola. A wonderful place to start with a beach trip or walk along the boardwalk an option for those looking to extend their visit. Minimal car parking is available with street parking also available. Once underway the beautiful base aspect of Mt Coolum is evident and it lingers over this trail for the duration. The path tracks alongside not only the mountain but also a premier local golf course. Those wishing to peek through the trees will be unlucky not to see a plethora of local birdlife including kookaburras and rosellas or even a group of kangaroos enjoying the evening sun. The turnaround point is the Warrack St Park, a fabulous place for families to enjoy a morning or afternoon pit stop. This area features not only a playground for the younger members, but a basketball hoop and flying fox for the more adventurous. A selection of picnic tables and a BBQ round out the features available.
Afterwards
A short 5 minute walk away is the newly renovated Mt Coolum shopping complex featuring cafes, restaurants and further convenience options.
