Alexandra Headland Suburb Profile 

Living in Alexandra Headland offers the best of coastal life, perfectly positioned between Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. This sun-lover’s paradise and popular surfing hangout is all about relaxed beachside living without the fuss. While the foodie and nightlife scenes thrive in its neighboring suburbs, life here revolves around the beach. 

Though Alexandra Headland boasts the shortest beach in the Maroochy area, its rocky headlands are renowned for some of the best surf in the region. Families flock to the playgrounds and green spaces near the surf club, while Alex Skate Park remains a hub for skaters and BMXers, buzzing well into the evening under floodlights. 

Running alongside the beach, Alexandra Parade features casual cafés, eateries, and surf shops nestled among holiday properties that make the most of stunning oceanfront views. Nelson Park, set back from the main street, provides a peaceful retreat with manicured gardens and a playground. 

Living in Alexandra Headland also means enjoying easy access to everything you could need, from major shopping complexes and local markets to waterfront dining, well-regarded schools, and even an international airport—all while savoring the relaxed charm of this seaside suburb. 

Area Features

Beach Life

In Alexandra Headland, it’s not the size of the beach that matters ¬– it’s the size of the swell. The rocky headlands at Alexandra Headland Beach are revered for having some of the best surf in the area. But if nothing else, the stretch of coastline around Alex Corner and The Bluff is a beautiful spot to soak up some impressive views.

Prime Spot

Neighbouring Maroochydore and Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland laps up the best these two beachside suburbs have to offer: major shopping complexes and water activities to dining and drinking with a view. Then there is the lush hinterland, which is only a short drive inland.

Active Lifestyle

Be it along the coastline or around Nelson Park, the facilities for cyclists and runners are ideal. But the real winners are skaters and bikers who have the run of top-rated Alex Skate Park. Day and night, this skate park has some of the best local talent spinning out tricks.
