Thrill seekers flock to the Coolum area for kite-surfing, surfing, body-boarding and kayaking in the pristine ocean.
The excellent surf conditions have helped produced some of the world's top surfers like Coolum's Julian Wilson.
Coolum has surf schools for people keen to try surfing for the first time or improve their skills and some great breaks for experienced surfers too.
Kite-surfing is also growing in popularity but both surfing and kite-surfing make great spectator sports if you're not ready to give it a go yourself.
If you'd prefer to stay dry try rock climbing, abseiling, paragliding, go-karting, sky diving or horse-riding in Coolum or by the Maroochy River.
Our local family run skydiving team will help you take site-seeing to new levels with tandem and single training jumps.
