Maroochydore Beach is the city’s most well-known. Its pristine sand and crystal-blue waters make it perfect for a relaxing day of sunbathing, scuba diving, or surfing. If you’re looking for beautiful scenery, drive to the River Precinct for a stroll and a spot of fishing or boating. Or for something more picturesque, take a stroll and enjoy the sights along one of the many coastal walking trails.
The town is ideally located, situated between the Maroochy River and the ocean, making it perfect for rest and relaxation. With the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Maroochy River on the other, there are also plenty of water-based activities to keep you entertained.
If you fancy a paddle or a surf, Maroochydore Beach is the perfect place. Or for something different, drive to the Maroochy River where you'll find calming waters, ideal swimming spots, and idyllic picnic places.
If you like fishing, throw your rod in the car and drive to the mouth of the river. Ask a local where the best place to cast your line is and you might just catch your dinner. Another great way of exploring the river is by boat. You can hire a small tinnie or kayak and enjoy the Maroochy River at your own pace.
Maroochydore also has various sports clubs, including Horton Park Golf Club, a challenging 18-hole course with a night-time driving range. If you’re feeling a little more energetic, there’s also a tennis club. Or, if you feel like something a little more casual, visit the Maroochydore Beach Bowls Club for something a little more relaxing.
