Currimundi is a coastal suburb of Caloundra in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.
Nicklin Way, the main road between Caloundra and Maroochydore, crosses Ahern Bridge over Currimundi Lake.
[8] During World War II, Currimundi Lake and the beach areas to its north were used for defence purposes and artillery practice.
[18] The area has a high degree of biodiversity and includes coastal heath, open forest, woodland, low closed forest with rainforest species, sedgeland and casuarina dune plant communities.
[18] Currimundi Lake is recognised by the Sunshine Coast Region Council as an important coastal asset for both the community and the local wildlife, and so regular maintenance is undertaken in order to protect waterways and manage erosion.
[4] In 2023 Currimundi Lake was identified as one of Queensland's top five 'ecotourism' destinations, having experienced a 325% increase in visitors post the COVID-19 Pandemic.
