Sunshine Coast

Stretching across the great sandy national park to the coastal city of caloundra near Brisbane

Come and discover the constant beauty of Australia’s Sunshine Coast

With plentiful wildlife, breath-taking beaches and abundant sun, the Sunshine Coast is an incredible holiday-destination for all travellers. The region is known for its glorious, golden beaches and contrasting lush green hinterlands. Whilst the coastal activities are enough for most visitors (fishing and surfing), there is also plenty to be discovered in the surrounding townships.

The town of Noosa is a favourite-holiday destination located within the Sunshine Coast. A fantastic hub of fashion boutiques, cafés and surrounded by beach, Noosa is a great place to holiday with the whole family.

Our Experts

What do our experts say about Sunshine Coast?

The Sunshine Coast, and in particular Noosa, is where my family and I regularly holiday! Everything about Noosa is really beautiful, from the turquoise beaches to the tropical atmosphere. We always make sure we have time to do some surf lessons with a local, visit the Eumundi markets and do a daily walk out to the National Park.
