Looking for an easy outdoor adventure this weekend?
The Dicky Beach to Currimundi Lake coastal pathway offers a scenic 3.4km return walk or ride, taking in beautiful coastal bushland, expansive creek views and the tranquil waters of one of the Sunshine Coast's most loved lakes.
Suitable for all ages and abilities, this easy-grade pathway is ideal for walkers, runners, recreational cyclists, wheelchairs and prams. Dogs on lead are also welcome on the shared pathway.
Starting at Dicky Beach, the trail winds through pockets of coastal vegetation, providing glimpses of local beaches and the coastline along the way. One of the highlights is the crossing of Coondibah Creek bridge, where visitors can pause to enjoy sweeping views over the water and surrounding landscape.
At the eastern end of Currimundi Lake, the calm waters and endless sand make it an aquatic delight to behold. It's an inviting place to slow down, take in the scenery and appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
Visitors bringing dogs or bicycles are reminded to remain on the shared pathway and follow local signage. Dogs are not permitted in certain adjacent beach areas. Check Council's interactive live map for more details.
Make a day of it
Once you arrive at Currimundi Lake, take some time to enjoy Cliff Hargreaves Park. Overlooking the lake, the popular park features a playground, barbecue facilities, picnic tables, natural shade, beach showers and public amenities.
While you're in the area, don't miss the recently completed 500m section of coastal pathway extending from Dicky Beach Skatepark to Cooroora Street. The elevated route offers sweeping coastal vistas and is a great addition to the region's growing network of active transport links.
