Escape the crowds at Coolum and Peregian beaches and enjoy a short ramble through swamplands, sedgelands and paperbark forest.
Follow the boardwalk over feathery grasses to meet a sandy track bursting with heathland and she-oak forest.
Delight in colourful wildflowers and dune plants growing along this track, such as the delightfully-named dune bean and pigface. Quiet visitors may be lucky to spy flittering finches, bee-eaters and parrots in the vegetation. Make sure to keep your camera and macro lens at the ready!
For more adventure at low tide, take the extra 2km return trip south along the beach to the park boundary at Stumers Creek.
