Sunshine Coast

When it comes to what makes the Sunshine Coast so special, you’ll find the clue is in our name. We have a sunny disposition that radiates from the inside out, and when you’re on holiday here, you’ll start to feel it too. Switch screen time for green time in our lush Hinterland and swap your front yard for our great big blue one - we hope you don’t mind sharing it with the locals… the humpbacks, turtles and dolphins that is.

There’s plenty to seek and so much to find, from farm to fork experiences to sipping your way through our burgeoning craft beer scene (we are Australia’s Craft Beer Capital after all) and discovering pinch-yourself experiences.

With more than 100km of famous coastline (ready for year-round swimming) wrapping around our lush hinterland hills, and a beautiful UNESCO Biosphere Corridor to protect, our community is committed to living sustainably, celebrating all things local, and sharing our picturesque landscapes and abundance of produce.

The Sunshine Coast is located one hour’s drive (100km) north of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane. Self-driving with your own car is one of the best ways to explore the region and take in the magnificent scenery.

So what are you waiting for? Come and find your Sunshine Moment, for real, right here on the Sunshine Coast.

The Sunshine Coast to me is one of the most magical places on earth. It has so many unique offerings all in one place. From 100km of pristine coastline, the stunning beauty of the Hinterland and Glasshouse Mountains to the untouched beauty of the Noosa Everglades, which is one of only two on the planet. It has something for everyone!
