Top Sunshine Coast Attractions Not to be Missed!

Looking for things to do on the Sunshine Coast? There’s so much choice from natural beauty through to renowned Sunshine Coast attractions. Here’s three different experiences that make the top of our list, make sure at least one is on your list or why not do them all and have the ultimate Sunshine Coast adventure?

 

A Day at the Beach

Who doesn’t love the sight of golden sand and turquoise waves lapping at the shore? The Sunshine Coast is home to some of Australia’s most spectacular beaches that stretch all along the coast, from Caloundra and north up to Noosa.

If you enjoy a surf, then head to Alexandra Headland or Moffat Beach for some waves when the swell is on point. You can also bring your pooch along for a surf at Point Cartwright and Sunshine Beach.

If you’re looking for something that’s perfect for kids we recommend Caloundra’s Kings Beach for rock pools and their cool oceanfront swimming pool. It’s also worth checking out the Mooloolaba Spit that is well patrolled by surf lifesavers during water months and in a nice spot, protected from the wind. They both also have beach side playgrounds!
