Coolum Beach
Coolum Beach, 18 km north of Maroochydore and 120 km north of central Brisbane, was named after Mount Coolum (207m) which is a few kilometres south of Coolum Beach's commercial centre. It is thought that the name was derived from an Aboriginal word describing the mount, referring to its blunt or cut-off summit.
