Day Trip To Caloundra, Sunshine Coast. Queensland Australia
Sure COVID19 has seen better days. But things are starting to move again. And if you need a reminder of how special we have it, take a stroll along Mooloolaba Beach on a beautiful spring morning; climb Mt Coolum; check out the quaint shops in Montville; or explore the spectacular paths along Noosa National Park and the Caloundra headland. This week, after a draining week at the office, we escaped early and took our furry friend (Shari) out for a treat to one of the best dog beaches on the Sunshine Coast, Moffat Beach.
Moffat Beach lies between Moffat
Head and Tooway Lake. Moffat Beach is connected to Shelly Beach by a coastal
pathway over the headland. Dogs are permitted off leash on the beach, as
indicated on the provided signs from 4pm to 8am
The
beaches are ace, the people are the most bonza you'll ever meet and the
lifestyle is the sort that turns Sydney and Melbourne corporate types green
with envy.
Normally
we would head up to The Pocket Espresso Bar, which is a unique little piece of
paradise where you can escape, rejuvenate & fix almost everything and the Wicked
Guru Coffee, is awesome. But this time we headed just a sticks throw from Moffat
Beach to the newly opened Molly and Co, which is a great addition to the local
cafe scene. Set well back from the pavement, it features pretty decor and
comfortable table seating both under cover and outside, plus there is even a
cute enclosed doggie play area which Shari had to check out.
We
thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday morning breakfasts of bacon, egg, cheese on Turkish
bread, plus waffles with bacon. Meantime, our fur baby lapped up her puppy
cino, declaring it pooch perfect.
Molly
and Co is run by very friendly and accommodating staff and features a very
reasonably priced menu. We now have a great café to stop in when we are up the
coast again and will sure be a winner with both the local dog-owning fraternity
and visiting holidaymakers alike.
Breakfast
finished we did a quick stop at Kawana Waters Artisans & Farmers Market, which are on every Saturday morning at the Kawana State Primary School showcasing
Sunshine Coasts producers and artisans. Kim had a quick look, grabbing some fresh
fruit.
Kim then checked out a couple of shops before we took a dip at the east facing calm waters of Golden Beach on Pumicestone Passage, which is
ideal for safe swimming, windsurfing, boating, canoeing and fishing.
With
the sunny weather the Sunshine Coast is a continuous invitation to adventure
outside with your four-legged friend. Many dog lovers have made this part of
South East Queensland their home, and the area has responded with plenty of dog
friendly cafes, bars, hikes, and beaches you can visit with your pup.
