Lighthouse playground

Right on the Caloundra Esplanade near Bulcock Beach, this spot has a lighthouse theme that actually makes sense given the location — you can see the real thing from here. It’s a solid accessible playground, which matters when you’re trying to include everyone in the group. The beach is basically at your feet, so kids can bounce between the equipment and the sand without much fuss. Locals know this stretch gets busy on weekends, but it’s worth it for the views alone.
