Queensland’s Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s most popular beach holiday destinations. Think sun-drenched beaches, lush hinterland, national parks and a laid-back lifestyle that makes year-round swimming and surfing irresistible.

Beyond famous Noosa, explore the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Kawana, Eumundi and Nambour. The region blends outdoor adventure, a thriving food scene, creative communities, boutique shopping and a lively events calendar.

Getting to the Sunshine Coast

Just two hours’ drive from Brisbane, the region is serviced by Sunshine Coast Airport. You can also arrive by bus or train, but with such a spread-out region, hiring a car is best for exploring.


 

Best things to do on the Sunshine Coast

The Coast’s creative streak shines at its markets. The Eumundi Markets are a must, alongside Noosa Farmers Market and Peregian Beach Market.

Wine lovers should head to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, home to boutique vineyards such as Flame Hill Vineyard, Ocean View Estate and Dingo Creek Vineyard – many offering tastings with stunning views.

Chase waterfalls in the hinterland. Swim at Gardners Falls or hike to Kondalilla Falls, with picnic spots and freshwater pools to cool off in.

For classic Sunshine Coast vibes, head to Noosa Main Beach. Families love Golden Beach, while pooches can roam Sunshine Beach and Currimundi. Surfers flock to Noosa National Park, home of the Noosa Festival of Surfing.


 

Where to stay on the Sunshine Coast

From beachside caravan parks to luxury resorts, the Sunshine Coast has it all. For romance, book the Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat. For beachfront bliss, try Oceans Mooloolaba, Breeze Mooloolaba or Element on Coolum.

If you prefer camping, choose from coastal grounds, hinterland sites or opt for glamping with safari tents and luxury bell tents.
