Overview
The Sunshine Coast stretches like a golden ribbon from Caloundra to Noosa, offering sun-drenched beaches, hip coastal towns, and rainforest-covered hinterlands. A slower, more relaxed alternative to its southern neighbour, it’s a place where surfers share waves with dolphins and locals buy produce straight from farm gates. Nature is close and community is closer.
See and Do
The local favourite
Noosa is the region’s crown jewel. Wander Hastings Street’s boutiques and cafés, hike through Noosa National Park to find secluded beaches, and paddleboard the calm Noosa River at sunset.
A scene of pure natural beauty
Discover the Glass House Mountains, ancient volcanic plugs rising dramatically from the surrounding plains. Hike, climb or simply gaze at these sacred formations from scenic lookouts or winery verandas nearby.
Adventures in nature
Take a food trail through the hinterland towns of Maleny and Montville—famed for dairy, chocolate and views. Kayak through the Noosa Everglades, one of only two such ecosystems in the world, or visit Australia Zoo, made famous by the Irwin family.
