Caloundra also has direct access to Pumicestone Passage - the stretch of water separating Bribie from the mainland - which is a haven for anglers, boaties, water - skiers and sail - boarders.
Tokaanu, with its mineral pools, has always been considered a hidden gem by the locals, as has the white sandy beaches of Pukawa and Kuratau, 15 minutes drive from town, popular with boaties and for swimming and kayaking.
