Dicky Beach is a classic Caloundra surf beach with a surf-club frontage, a north-east-facing shoreline, and a mix of sandbar and reef waves along the same stretch. It is an easy-going Sunshine Coast local favourite that can still offer solid, surfable shape when the wind and ESE swell line up.

Lineup Guide
Use the main Dicky Beach access points and the Coochin Street surf-club frontage for parking and entry; the north rocks, south bluff, and rip channels shape the banks, so watch the hazards and expect a busier lineup on better days.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
