Sunshine Coast

Just north of Brisbane, Queensland’s Sunshine Coast is known for its relaxed, yet sophisticated lifestyle. Encompassing the coastline from Caloundra to Rainbow Beach and the lush countryside of the hinterland, the beauty of this region will captivate you.

Discover Caloundra’s natural environment, watch whales and enjoy pristine beaches, or indulge yourself at Noosa Heads and dine out at one if its high-end restaurants, shop in style or pamper yourself with a day spa treatment. Wander the Eumundi Markets for a local treasure and don’t forget to visit the Home of The Crocodile Hunter at the famous Australia Zoo on your way to the Hinterland.

The rich, subtropical country of the Hinterland encompasses many attractions, from the wineries, art galleries and lovely boutiques of Montville and Maleny, to the series of magnificent state forests and nostalgic rural charm of Gympie, Buderim and Landsborough.

Tourists won’t want to miss the stunning Glass House Mountains, which dominate the landscape or the Sundown National Park and its rugged ridges and gorges.

Visit the Ginger Factory in Yandina, escape to Buderim Forest Park or spend some time indulging your tastebuds in the Hinterland wine region with a wealth of quality local produce.

From pristine beaches and indulgent shopping to rainforest walks and mountain hikes, the Sunshine Coast’s options are endless.
