Coolum Beach Date Night Ideas

Date night by the ocean? Yes, please. Coolum Beach has a dreamy, laid-back energy that makes it perfect for a romantic evening out. Whether you’re on holiday with your partner or planning a special night away from home, here are our favourite Coolum Beach date night ideas to set the mood.

Watch the Sunset Together

Start the evening with a walk along the sand or take the short Emu Mountain climb for panoramic sunset views. There’s something undeniably romantic about watching the sky light up over the ocean.

Romantic Dinner for Two

Coolum has a growing food scene with some excellent date-night spots:

• Canteen Kitchen + Bar – Cocktails and share plates with a relaxed, chic vibe.

• Castro’s Bar & Restaurant – Classic Italian with warm lighting and a cozy feel.

• Coolum Surf Club – If you prefer casual, nothing beats a sunset meal overlooking the waves.

Drinks & Dessert

After dinner, wander back along the esplanade for dessert (gelato is a must) or grab a nightcap at a local wine bar.

Stargazing by the Sea

Bring a picnic rug and head back to the sand for some quiet stargazing. The sound of the waves makes the perfect soundtrack.

End the Night at Siren’s Keep

Head “home” to Siren’s Keep for a nightcap on the balcony, a soak in the bath, or one of our cheese platters by candlelight. The vintage, coastal styling is designed to feel romantic and calm – the perfect end to your night.

Turn date night into a weekend escape. Book your stay at Siren’s Keep and make your Coolum Beach getaway one to remember.
