The Sunshine Coast is known for its unique wildlife and stunning scenery, which includes sweeping beaches and lush rainforests. There is so much on offer for travellers.

A Quick Guide to Sunshine Coast
Just a couple of hours north of Brisbane you will find the Sunshine Coast – sunny by name and sunny by nature, this region of sun, surf, sand and ultimate relaxation is sure to please you.
Beautiful Beaches Everywhere
Of course the main drawcard of the Sunshine Coast is the vast array of spectacularly beautiful beaches. Enjoy the surf or take a dip in the natural Sea Pool, the choice is yours. There are plenty of opportunities for long walks on the beach here, and there are thoughtfully constructed amenities everywhere – you will never have to look far to find a shower, bathroom or friendly café to have a break in. There’s seven main beaches here, and the locals like to recommend the “Seven seas” challenge to take a dip in each one in a single day, but we recommend choosing your favourite and settling in for a relaxing time of things. Of course if you really want to get away there’s dozens of smaller beaches to explore too – some only accessible by 4WD.
Freshwater Cruising
When you’ve had your fill of sand, you can hop on a boat and enjoy a leisurely cruise up the Maroochy River. Marvel at the seaside mansions, take in the cool blue water and enjoy the abundant sea life and birds that call this part of the world home. You can take a short joyride to enjoy a bit of sightseeing, or spend a bit more time on a lunch or dinner cruise – there’s nothing quite like enjoying a seafood buffet while gazing out over the water.
Big Fun
On the Sunshine Coast, they just want to do everything a bit bigger, and one of the most iconic tourist attractions in the region is the delightfully kitschy Big Pineapple. The enormous Pineapple (that you can climb inside to a viewing platform) is certainly a unique sight, but it is just one of the attractions on offer here. Take a ride on the pineapple train as it winds its way through the plantations, and it will take you to Wildlife HQ – one of the best zoos in the region. The whole family is sure to be charmed by the friendly animals and interactive wildlife exhibits here. A recent addition to the complex is a tree top challenge - a zip line and high ropes course that is bound to be a firm favourite with adventure lovers.
Gingerbread Cottages
The Buderim ginger factory is another well-designed tourist destination here, where you can see ginger treats being produced, sample all the ginger produce you can handle, and that’s just the beginning. There is also a carefully chosen selection of boutiques here, so your souvenir shopping is made easy.
Eumundi Gold
No trip to this region is complete without a visit to the world-famous Eumundi Markets – held midweek and on weekends year-round. Hundreds of stalls showcase their wares here – have your caricature drawn, pick up some funky resort wear and find gifts for the whole family here. Live music plays, the food trucks offer a range of gourmet treats and there’s plenty of shade so you can relax and enjoy the day.
