We were lucky enough to recently stay at Coco Mooloolaba and enjoy Mooloolaba and the Sunshine Coast. There is so much to do and enjoy about this place……no wonder everyone wants to live here. The weather was stunning (for winter) the people are friendly and the lifestyle is relaxed……….and the wildlife!!!
After breakfasting at our now favourite cafe, Sugar and Spice on the Esplanade we wandered over to the beach to sit and soak up the sun and to our delight a pod of dolphins not more than 50 metres off the beach started ‘performing’. We enjoyed watching their acrobatics as they played before us. People gathered on the beach and the oohs and aahs from the crowd was infectious. Great to see such amazing animals in their natural environment doing what they love to do.
It was the following day after a walk along Mooloolaba beach that we heard people yelling WHALE, WHALE and there they were, a pod of them frolicking in the waters just out past the nets. People gathered to stand and watch and enjoy the spectacle that was unfolding. Not sure why they were so close to shore, may have been birthing, feeding or just resting in the calm, warmer waters, whatever we were truly lucky to see these amazing animals. Mooloolaba truly put on a show to remember!
You may not be so lucky to see dolphins and whales at play, but you will be lucky to enjoy great Mooloolaba hotel accommodation at Coco Mooloolaba. A great place to stay whilst visiting Mooloolaba and the Sunshine Coast.
