Free shuttle bus to town and the beach

Mooloolaba
A practical pick for families who want a walkable esplanade, protected beach time, and plenty of dining nearby.
Caloundra
Often the easiest value base for younger kids thanks to calmer water pockets and a laid-back feel.
Maroochydore
Useful for families who want central positioning and newer apartment stock rather than a single resort strip.
