 Additional Information

Shelly Beach is one of six beaches that cling to the Caloundra coastline.

Out of the coveted hidden beach selection, Shelly comes up trumps for the best rock pools.

There are more than 20 different marine species that depend on Shelly Beach’s rock pool ecosystem.

Expect to identify blue periwinkles, black sea cucumbers, sea hares and rose barnacles to name a few. Please remember to let these fragile sea creatures be, no picking up and pocketing.

It’s a great beach to find a deep enough rock pool to wallow in for hours on end. Or if you feel like exploring, you can splash along the rock shelf that fringes the headland where you’ll see the popular Kings Beach in the distance and the shadows of the Glass House Mountains.

Atmosphere

One of the least crowded places on the Sunshine Coast, although it doesnt fire as often as other spots. Catch it on a good day and youll pretty much have awesome waves to yourself. Mostly Shore breaks at this spot.
