About Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is an unmissable destination for its laid-back surf culture, picturesque beaches, and the iconic Australia Zoo, founded by the late Steve Irwin. Visitors are drawn to the vibrant atmosphere of Noosa Main Beach, where boutique shopping, fine dining, and stunning ocean views create an unforgettable experience. For a truly unique experience, travellers love taking a scenic flight over the Glass House Mountains, a breathtaking landscape of towering volcanic peaks.

The best time to visit the Sunshine Coast is from September to November and March to May, when the weather is mild and sunny. For first-timers, consider renting a car to explore the region's many hidden beaches and coves, such as the secluded Mooloolaba Spit, which can be easily accessed by car.
