The suburb and beach were named after James Moffat, a chemist from Brisbane, who established a holiday home here on Moffat Head, back in 1883.
The Queen of the Colonies pandanus tree stood on the headland above the site where 13 passengers from the Queen of the Colonies shipwreck were cast ashore in a small boat, while returning from Moreton Island during stormy weather in April 1863. A hundred years later, in 1963, a concrete memorial was erected on the site.
In 1888, Caloundra’s first guesthouse, named "Sea Glint" opened on a ridge overlooking present-day Moffat Beach. During this time Sir Thomas McIllwraith, Premier of Queensland, was a regular visitor to Sea Glint on the shore of Tooway Lake (or Wilson’s Lake as it was then known).
One of Australia's longest-running surf competitions, the Pa and Ma Bendall Surfing Classic is held every Easter long weekend, in honour of local surfing legends Charles "Pa" and Marjorie "Ma" Bendall.
The event attracts surfers from far and wide and is a great time to visit the area.
2024 will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Pa and Ma Bendall surfing competition.
