La Balsa Park — Attraction in Sunshine Coast Regional

The general area on south bank of the Mooloolah river is very pleasant area to visit and have a picnic by the water, with the Mooloolaba marina, coast guard and water police visible from most vantages on this side.

This is also a major fishing port for commercial trawlers, with the Moolooaba fish market available to the public (approximately 15 minutes drive by car)

Other attractions include Sea Life Aquarium, formerly known as Underwater World.

Sea charters, seafood cruises and largely alfresco dining, all part of the charm that makes this entire area quite enticing with lots to do and see.

Meanwhile back on the southern side, approximately 15 - 20 walking further east will see you at the north eastern most point known as Point Cartwright Lighthouse, which is also accessible by car, and a 5 minute walk.

I wouldn't consider this area to be ideal for swimming as there are often quite a lot of boats back and forth crossing the bar...
