About Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is a spectacular region in Queensland, Australia. It is known for its pristine sandy beaches, waterways, hinterland and appealing historic villages scattered throughout the region.

The Sunshine Coast stretches for over 100kms and lies within a UNESCO Biosphere Corridor which promotes sustainability and environmental protection.

It is the only place in Australia to have three UNESCO Biosphere Reserves sit side by side being the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Great Sandy Biospheres.

There is much to see and do on the Coast! You can be surfing at the beach one minute and relaxing at a hinterland café enjoying locally sourced ingredients the next!

The Sunshine Coast is only an hour’s drive from the capital city of Brisbane. As well as the Brisbane Domestic and International Airports, the Sunshine Coast Airport is centrally located in Marcoola, just 10kms north of Maroochydore. There are regular flights to and from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Auckland (seasonal). The Sunshine Coast is also well serviced with buses and trains, as well as taxis and private transport providers.

The University of the Sunshine Coast is situated at Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast and CQ University Sunshine Coast Campus is located at Noosaville. There is also a number of TAFE Campuses in various locations across the coast as well as many other training organisations. The Sunshine Coast welcomes local, national and international students to a diverse range of study options.

The Sunshine Coast will also be a co-host city for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Brisbane 2032, with 4 key venues and nine proposed Olympic and Paralympic events. There are a number of major sporting events held annually on the coast including the Mooloolaba Triathlon, the Noosa Triathlon and the Sunshine Coast Marathon.

An array of water sports, river cruising and fishing opportunities abound from north to south across the Sunshine Coast as is family fun days out like Aussie World and Australia Zoo.

Westfield’s Sunshine Plaza located in Maroochydore is the largest shopping mall on the Sunshine Coast and offers an abundance of retail, dining and entertainment options. Markets are popular with the locals and tourists alike and are held regularly in numerous locations around the coast including the famous Eumundi Markets.

There is something for everyone on the Coast! There is no shortage of creative talent and artistic flair on the Sunshine Coast so all are welcome to explore the art gallery trail around the coast and hinterland, and for the nature lovers, explore one of the well signed National Parks including Kondalilla National Park near Montville, Noosa National Park or the Glasshouse Mountains National Park. Experience breathtaking beauty and tranquility exploring the Noosa Everglades which is one of only two everglades’ systems in the world. It is in the upper reaches of the Noosa River and is known as the River of Mirrors due to the remarkable reflections in the water.

There are walking and bike trails scattered around the coast and the popular Blackall 100 race is a popular annual event. The magnificent trail takes you across the Blackall Range on the Sunshine Coast hinterland, experiencing subtropical rainforest, picturesque waterfalls and much more.

Of course, there is a myriad of culinary delights from fine dining to international fare to fish and chips. You can even order fresh prawns straight off the trawler at the fish markets. There are over 900 producers around the Sunshine Coast so there is an abundance of local produce. There is also the well-known Spirit House restaurant and cooking school situated in Yandina which is very popular with all age groups. You can sample a craft beer from one of the coast’s many craft breweries or visit a winery to sample a fine wine.

Their land takes in the eastern part of the coastal ranges including the Glasshouse Mountains and the Mary River valley which flows from the Conondale Ranges to the sea near Maryborough.’
