Backtracking slightly from Noosa we went to Coolum. There is not much at Coolum apart from a string of shops, surf beach and a mountain/ hill. The campsite was next to the beach and we could still hear the waves as we went to sleep. The council have recently developed a board walk and lookout [...]
