Strolling along the Esplanade at Coolum Beach may inspire a craving for fish and chips, and when hunger strikes, find Coolum Seafoods not far from the Surf Life Saving Club for a fresh feast. Though quaint in size, vibrant colours burst from this fully licensed eatery, with plenty of options to choose from, whether staying awhile for a meal or simply picking up a take-away order to devour down at the beach or for a picnic in the park across the road. A cabinet full of fresh fish includes a selection of fillets like cod, whiting, mackerel, perch, mullet and hoki for visitors to choose from, cooked to order in tasty dishes like the fisherman’s basket with calamari, sea bites and prawn cutlets or perhaps opt for an all-day breakfast like the big kahuna with sausages, bacon, eggs and toast.
