Morning light hits Bulcock Beach and the path hums with the soft rhythm of footsteps and waves. You pull your phone from your pocket, open the Let’s Roam app and the town becomes a playground: murals, a squat white lighthouse, seaside parks and a boardwalk that keeps time with the tide. The hunt sends you down Dingle Avenue for a mural snap, loops past the Caloundra Regional Art Gallery and funnels you to the headland where the lighthouse keeps its watch.
