BEN BENNETT RESERVE

Public BBQ

Ben Bennett Reserve transforms the simple act of barbecuing into something altogether more spectacular, thanks to its enviable waterfront position along Caloundra's coastline. The BBQ facilities here come with an unbeatable bonus: sweeping ocean views that make even the humblest sausage sandwich feel like fine dining. Families gravitate toward this spot for good reason - the combination of well-maintained barbecue areas, nearby playgrounds, and walking paths creates an ideal setting for outdoor cooking adventures. The amenities are refreshingly clean, though visitors would be wise to arrive early during peak periods when this scenic gem attracts crowds of locals and tourists alike. With ample parking and picnic tables strategically positioned to capture those water views, Ben Bennett Reserve elevates the weekend barbie from routine meal to memorable waterfront experience. The only complaint might be that the stunning scenery proves rather distracting from actually watching the snags.
