DOGS ARE PEOPLE TOO!
That’s why we have dog friendly beaches!!!

With all bathing reserve areas off-limits to dogs, it’s good to know there are defined spaces where it’s okay to take your furry buddy off-leash for a run, to socialise or chase a ball as dogs love to do.

Dogs Off-Leash At All Times
(A) Grahame Stewart Park, (B) Currimundi foreshore, Gothic Pde to Buderim St (C) Coochin Park, Dicky Beach, & (D) Woorim Park, Golden Beach.

Dogs Off-Leash From 4pm To 8am Only
(E) Meridian Downs Park, Little Mountain, (F) Ridgehaven Park, Aroona, (G) Moffat Beach & Shelly Beach foreshore.

A PDF of all the Dog-friendly beaches & parks on the Sunshine Coast is available.

(Closed Anzac Day - Sun 25 Apr)
What makes our market different? Well, most stalls are indoors in the lovely old RSL Building, situated along the Obi Obi Creek, on the left as you drive into town, so you can't miss us. We are on every Sunday, rain or shine.
Over the years the type of market stalls have changed & we now have many more 'collectable' type stalls, with old wares, antiques, tools, etc, which makes our market very exciting, just like markets should be! Apart from discovering that perfect treasure for your home, we also have fantastic fresh local produce, fruit & vegetables in season, jams, cakes & conserves, high quality, locally produced art & handcrafts, indigenous & exotic herbs & roses, handmade soaps, pottery & jewellery, as well as a picture framer, fair trade goods, & not forgetting Jessie's fabulous Asian food!
There are plenty of tables & chairs to sit down, relax & enjoy a tea or coffee & have a chat with friends.
So next Sunday, do something different. Head up the Hinterland for a leisurely drive & make sure you pop into the Maleny Art, Craft & Collectables Market!
New stalls always welcome!
