Sunshine Coast

Coast
Hinterland

Just north of Brisbane, Queensland’s Sunshine Coast offers a relaxed, yet sophisticated lifestyle. Encompassing the coastline from Caloundra to Rainbow Beach and the lush countryside of the hinterland, the beauty of this region will captivate you.

The beaches of the Sunshine Coast are varied from gentle waves to serious surf, while idyllic coastal towns are perfect for both romantic getaways and family holidays. If you prefer a cosy holiday nestled amongst the hills and beautiful Glasshouse Mountains, then wander through the hinterland where you can browse among local delicacies at markets and fresh food stalls.

Coast

The coastal towns of the Sunshine Coast fringe stretches of pristine beaches and sparkling water. Experience the unspoilt natural beauty of this region from the secluded coves of Noosa Heads to the coloured cliffs of Rainbow Beach. You’ll find the coastal beaches appealing and varied with unlimited options for fun and relaxation.

Hinterland

The Bruce Highway sweeps north from Brisbane past the rearing crags of the Glass House Mountains and through the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. This rich, subtropical country is embroidered with detail.

West of the Bruce Highway, the Blackall Range beckons. Montville, Maleny and the other villages that perch on or behind the escarpment have restaurants, wineries, alternative-style eateries and produce stores, art galleries, boutiques and curiosity shops catering for tastes refined or earthy.

Follow the Mary River north from its headwaters towards Gympie and you’ll find a series of magnificent state forests and townships of nostalgic rural charm.
