Shop Caloundra Winter 2025

Caloundra The place to be

Winter might be here, but Caloundra is still serving sunshine, sea breezes and seriously good vibes.

With crisp mornings, clear skies and that laidback coastal charm we all love, it’s the perfect time to slow down and soak it all in. Think morning beach walks with a coffee in hand, followed by a spot of boutique shopping, brunching with friends, or picking up something special at the markets.

Caloundra really comes into its own in winter – stylish stores, cosy cafés, fresh local produce and a creative scene that’ll warm you right up.

Wander the colourful Street Art Trail, browse the racks of fashionforward boutiques or simply spend the day pottering around discovering all the local gems (there are plenty!).

In this edition of Shop Caloundra, we’re sharing all the best spots to shop, eat, explore and enjoy this winter. So throw on a jacket (but keep the sunnies handy!) and let’s make the most of this beautiful season by the sea.
