Yaroomba Beach is an open surf beach on the Coral Sea, forming the eastern boundary of the Sunshine Coast suburb of Yaroomba. The beach is a long strip of sand backed by dunes, with the land rising gently from the shore. Access for paddlers is via numerous formal beach access points, specifically numbered from 87 to 109, with access points 89 and 90 near Birrahl Park being seasonally patrolled by surf lifesavers. The beach is adjacent to David Low Way, providing road access, and parking is available. The overall character is that of a surf beach popular with surfers, particularly towards the rocky Point Arkwright headland to the north. This headland and the adjacent coastline offer notable sights; paddlers can enjoy views of Mount Coolum and explore along the white sandy beach adjacent to dunes with a backdrop of stringybark eucalyptus forest. The area is a significant nesting site for endangered loggerhead turtles. The beach's name originates from the Kabi word for "surf on the beach," indicating its exposed nature. Paddlers should be aware this is an open surf beach, meaning it is exposed to wind and ocean swell. Surf conditions, including wedgy beach breaks, are present, and there is no protective harbor or bay, making the launch and landing conditions entirely dependent on swell, wind, and tide. The beach is directly exposed to the prevailing southeasterly winds. There are walking tracks and boardwalks over the Point Arkwright headland leading north towards Coolum Beach, which is 2.7 kilometers from the center of Yaroomba. Coolum Creek, where paddle sports like canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding are allowed, is a nearby paddle destination reachable from this beach. General surf safety and awareness of seasonal patrol flags near Birrahl Park are advised.
