Marcoola Beach

Beach breakBeginner to intermediate

Marcoola Beach is a relatively uncrowded Sunshine Coast beach break sitting north of Mudjimba, offering open-ocean exposure and shifting sand banks that can produce good peaks when the swell is running. A quieter alternative to the busier breaks further south that rewards surfers willing to explore.
