It's not loved by surfers, which is fine by me as I don't love getting hit in the head by surf boards. You're not meant to have your dog there, but no one ever gave us any stick when we took our puppy down on holiday recently. She's not a swimmer, however she had an awesome time guarding our towels and stressing out while I put myself in danger by going for a swim. The beach is patrolled during the day and is a family favourite. It's my version of paradise.

When I discovered Suttons Beach, I thought- "why have I only just found out about this place". This…read morebeach absolutely beautiful and a great place to spend a day with the family or a loved one. I came here with my family during the low tide- around the middle of the afternoon. We dipped our feet in the water and walked towards the ocean for what felt like kilometres- the low tide here is phenomenal as you can just keep walking further and further from land and the water will only reach your ankle. During that walk we noticed millions of tiny soldier crabs hovering around and because the water was so clear, the occasional exotic looking fish made an appearance through the water. The beach was very calm and quiet which was refreshing compared to the beaches on the Gold Coast. After this walk, my family and I had a picnic by the beach, there was plenty of green grass available and even some BBQ for us to cook on. We stayed to watch the sunset, which was a breathtaking view. I am glad I have discovered this beach, it is one of the most pleasant beaches that I have encountered in a while.

We have rented kayaks and stand up paddle boards plenty of times from Golden Beach Hire and they have been great. It makes the opportunity to do water sports so accessible! Every time I head to Caloundra, I always visit this beach. There is a great walkway to for for a morning or afternoon stroll. The sunrises and sunsets here are magnificent. There is plenty of parking and I have never had any issues. The place is never crowded and everyone is friendly that you pass by. If you want to have a BBQ and be right next to the water, Golden Beach has that for you!

I'm so glad we had this tip - it really is a stunning area. Carry on through Noosaville and drive right to the very last car park on Noosa Head - from here you'll have an amazing view of the sandy beaches, the river and the ocean. You'll see little fishing boats out on the water, and probably a few people fishing from the shore. We were also lucky enough to see a Fish Eagle dive down and grab his lunch from the water, just as we were eating ours. You'll also see people on paddle boards meandering up the river. If you can make time for Noosa in your itinerary I really recommend it - it's a stunning spot and a great place to eat a picnic lunch or grab a coffee.

There is the large concrete bottom pool that draws quite the crowd in hot weather, as does the neighboring beach (sand bottom) pool There is also a small kids pool and kids water playground. It's FREE! There are public restrooms steps away that give you a free space to change, plus lockers available for rent. It is easy to spend an entire day here, enjoying the public amenities and pool while having quick access to restrooms, lunch spots, and ice cream trucks. Overall I give Streets Beach Five Stars out of Five. It's a MUST VISIT.

In recent months I've been building a list of "tacky, weird stuff to do" in Brisbane list. Streets Beach is right at the top of this list. A man made beach, complete with sand, life guards and umbrellas- right in the middle of the city! I used to think this beach was horribly tacky and I used to avoid it like the plague. It was always full of little kids who you could trust to pee in the water, or young buff couples getting sexy in the deeper waters. Am I selling this yet? In recent years however, I don't avoid it so much. I've grown fond of strolling down to the beach of a night time for a dip. You can float on your back and gaze out at the skyline, and watch the lights reflect off the water of the river below. It's actually really pretty. Just maybe take care to not put your head under water. You never know what's beneath the surface. Take this as you will. It's open until 10pm of a night time.
