Mooloolaba is a young, trendy part of the Sunshine Coast.
In the past decade, the area has undergone massive tourism boosts, with increased development and a higher skyline reflecting well the wealth that has come to the area.
The eponymously named main beach is a crescent-shaped bay which includes The Spit 500 metres to the south.
Numerous up-market bars, cafes and restaurants occupy the Esplanade, with the locally-famous Loo with a View offering superb, er, views, across the bay to the south.
Point Cartwright, also known as Point Atty on the southern edge of the bay, is a man-made rock wall offering boats safe entry to the canals and mooring docks of backwater Mooloolaba.

Friday's Bar and Club
Easily the most popular spot with frisky under 25's, Fridays is something of a local legend. There wouldn't be too many locals who don't have a story to tell about a great night out at Friday's.
With a recently-refurb'ed downstairs level featuring a crescent-shaped bar, pokie lounge (fruit machines for you English users playing along at home), live bands and huge beer garden; and an upstairs level more along the lines of a club-type atmosphere, Fridays has pretty much got something for everyone.
The crowds can get huge on a Friday or Saturday, and expect an entry fee for the upstairs Club at least.
