A good place, and a reason to linger.
Things to do in Sunshine Coast
Calm north-facing beaches, a rainforest hinterland and villages built for slow mornings — the Sunshine Coast is made for pairing a good feed with a walk under the trees or along the sand.
Noosa Heads
Hastings Street chic meets a coastal national park. Coffee among the boutiques, then the headland walk past hidden coves to Noosa's famous beach.
Maleny
A hinterland village high in the Blackall Range — rainforest reserves, Glass House Mountains views and a slow country main street. Coffee with a view, then a boardwalk under the canopy.
Mooloolaba
The Sunshine Coast's most sociable beach town — a patrolled swimming beach, a restaurant-lined esplanade and a walkable spit. Coffee by the sand, then the boardwalk to the point.
