Moffat Beach

Moffat Beach is a coastal town in the Sunshine Coast, located within the area of Caloundra. It’s named after a chemist from Brisbane named James Moffat, who built a holiday home on Moffat Head back in 1883.

He also purchased all of the land available then, from the golf course to Moffat Head.
