Police have charged a man after investigations into an alleged assault on a Sunshine Coast beach.

Police will allege a woman in her 60s was walking along Peregian Beach, near access 53, on April 8 at about 9.15am, when she approached a man and had a brief verbal interaction.

The man then allegedly tackled the woman.

The man allegedly ran from the scene and the woman was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigations led police to charge a 28-year-old Peregian Beach man with one count of grievous bodily harm.

He is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on August 21.
