Fishing near Caloundra, Queensland

Caloundra sits at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, where the Pumicestone Passage separates the mainland from Bribie Island. The area is defined by strong tidal flows, expansive sand flats, mangrove channels, and accessible foreshore platforms — making it one of southeast Queensland's most productive land-based and kayak fishing destinations. The Pumicestone Passage and nearby Currimundi Creek, Lamerough Creek, and the Mooloolah River are the marquee local waters.
