Adventure time: Yaroomba Bushland Park loop (1.2km)

A hidden bushland oasis, just minutes from one of the Sunshine Coast’s favourite coastal lookouts, includes a rejuvenated, elevated eco boardwalk, providing the perfect place to get active while immersing yourself in nature.

Suitability

Made for a peaceful lone stroll, a family walk or a fun little mountain bike ride. Dogs are welcome on leash.

Highlights

Nestled among lush rainforest behind Point Arkwright, when you’ve had enough beach and sun, then here is a nice little 1.2km loop for you.

The boardwalk connects to a one-kilometre walking and cycling circuit that’s perfect for people of all ages to enjoy. *Note - the trail has some exposed tree roots to be mindful of. Through wetland, rainforest, vine forest and Wallum woodlands, it’s peaceful and shady with very little traffic considering its urban surrounds.

An elevated boardwalk section makes it fine for all weather. After rain you are bound to hear the frogs in the wetland sections of the trail that bring this area to life, plus you’ll see native gingers and more.

There’s also a playground and picnic table.

It's a great option for those who want to avoid the elevation and people on Mount Coolum Track.

Expect to come across bush turkeys foraging in the scrub and cute puppies on their morning neighbourhood walk.

Afterwards

There’s wonderful coffee available nearby on David Low, just opposite Boward Close. And the beach is accessible at the end of the street. You can head north to Point Arkwright and walk to Coolum and back (or partway) or head south along Yaroomba beach

How to get there

Heading north on David Low Way, past Mount Coolum, and the old Palmer Coolum restart, turn left into Warran Road and then take the second right onto Neurum Road. You’ll find parking on the street.

Heading south from Coolum the turn-off to Neurum Road is approximately 2km from the Surf Club, on your right just as you take the bend at Point Arkwright.
