This unreal region is known for being one of the most popular tourist destinations in south-east Australia. Sunshine Coast is home to some of the best resorts in Queensland, this beautiful paradise boasts over 100 km of golden beaches alongside abundant rainforest, where you can feel like a local among the surfers and artists.

The Sunshine Coast enjoys subtropical weather, with nice and warm temperatures all year long averaging around 15°C to 27°C, making it an ideal destination no matter the season. If you’d like to avoid rainfall and crowds, October and November are great months for visiting.

Also, fun fact here! Did you know that this region enjoys an average of 280-300 days of sunshine per year? No wonder where its name is coming from…

There is plenty to see on the Sunshine Coast, starting with its white sand beaches and coastline. We recommend visiting Noosa, a place that has something for everyone, Hastings Street for dining or shopping and Noosa Main Beach, ideal for family activities.

Caloundra is a great spot for families offering excellent beaches such as Kings Beach and Moffat Beach.

Head into the hinterland and discover Glass House Mountains National Park, a must-visit for hikers. Experience the charming and artistic villages such as Maleny, Kenilworth or Montville, full of art galleries, cafés and shops.
