Yaroomba
A sleepy suburb loved by locals, Yaroomba is without doubt one of the hidden treasures of the Sunshine Coast. Its name, derived from the indigenous Gubbi Gubbi language meaning 'surf on the beach', reflects its status as a beloved local surfing spot.
Stretching along the coastline, Yaroomba boasts a long and stunning beach, bookended by Point Arkwright to the north and framed by untouched coastal bushland. To escape the sun's heat, take a leisurely stroll along the shaded loop of Yaroomba Bushland Park, immersing yourself in its tranquil beauty.
This pristine beach is not only a haven for residents but also a cherished habitat for local wildlife. Endangered Loggerhead turtles grace the shores each year, laying their precious eggs along this captivating stretch of coastline.
Yaroomba's rich history adds to its allure. In 1862, the ship Kirkdale ran aground on its journey to Sri Lanka, leaving a fascinating tale for history enthusiasts to uncover. During a king tide, keen observers may catch a glimpse of the shipwreck's resting place, adding a touch of intrigue to the area's past.
