Arrival at All Access Day

Mooloolabah Beach is a popular tourist destination with significant urban development. The Mooloolabah Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) is the prominent landmark and influences arrival to Mooloolabah Beach.

An extended accessible car parking space is available on the southern side to the Mooloolabah SLSC. Extensive step free pathways from either side of the Mooloolabah SLSC direct pedestrians to the beach access points.

A map divided into four zones with a key listing activities and times on the right. On the left, there are marked roads, pathways, and green spaces labelled "Mooloolaba Esplanade" and "Parkyn Parade". In the middle, a central area is labelled "Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club". The background is filled with green shaded areas representing grass, and the foreground includes labelled parking areas with accessibility symbols.
A paved road runs centrally into the background, bordered by parked cars on both sides. On the left, a white building and parked silver vehicles occupy the foreground, with trees and shrubs behind them.

Experiencing All Access Day

Getting to All Access Day and the festival of activities is situated around the Mooloolabah Surf Life Saving club and has four activity areas. Zone 1 is the welcoming area underneath the Life Saving Tower. Zone 2 is situated down the concrete ramp to the beach and on the left and Zone 3 is on the right.

Both areas are accessible with support of beach matting. As a popular tourist location large numbers of swimmers, surfers and sunbathers frequent the beach. A quieter zone is located on the southern end of the clubhouse with shaded areas and a sensory tent. The BBQ is also located within this zone.

On the left, a sandy beach with swimmers and a flagged surf zone is bordered by small blue tents and event stalls on a bright blue path. In the middle, a stone retaining wall supports a lifeguard tower surrounded by flags, banners, and more tents. On the right, a paved footpath runs along grass and trees, with additional stalls and railings near the edge. The floor is sand, pavement, and grass. There is no visible ceiling.
