Kings Beach is Caloundras main surfing beach: an exposed beach break with a rock-and-sand bottom, a southeast-facing shoreline, and enough bar and rip structure to stay fun when the swell lines up. It is the most reliable surfing beach in town, and the exposed urban frontage gives it a busy holiday-town feel even when the waves are only average.
