Where we are · Sunshine Coast, Queensland
A retreat in Cotton Tree, Maroochydore.
Across the road from the beachside park and Maroochydore Beach, at the quiet end of the Sunshine Coast’s busiest town — close enough to walk everywhere, far enough to hear the surf.
Cotton Tree · Maroochydore
Where the river meets the sea.
Beach Health Retreat is at 70–78 Alexandra Parade, Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, Queensland 4558. Cotton Tree is the older, greener corner of Maroochydore, where the Maroochy River meets the sea. The apartments sit in gardens on Alexandra Parade, directly across the road from the beachside park and Maroochydore Beach.
It means a retreat here is walkable. The patrolled beach and the park are across the road. Cotton Tree’s cafés, the river mouth and the coastal path are a short stroll — you can arrive, leave the car, and not need it again. More on walking, swimming and optional movement.
The Sunshine Coast sits between Brisbane and Noosa on Queensland’s east coast. Sunshine Coast Airport is the closest airport, and an airport transfer can be arranged as a paid extra when your retreat is planned.
What’s around you.
Everything here is across the road or within an easy walk. Further along the same stretch of coast sit Alexandra Headland and Mooloolaba, a short drive south, if you would like a change of beach on a quiet afternoon.
Maroochydore Beach
Directly across Alexandra Parade: a patrolled surf beach with shade, grass and a path along the foreshore.
The coastal path
North towards the river mouth or south along the coast — calmer water, early-morning light, and a walk as short or long as you like.
Cotton Tree
Cafés, a bakery and a small shopping strip within a few minutes’ walk, so self-catering is easy.
Step outside.
The beach, the river mouth and the coastal path are all within a few minutes’ walk.
What happens here.
