Things to do in the Sunshine Coast
From town to town along this coast, you will find markets of every kind, from the Noosa Farmer’s Market selling delicious local goodies, to the Eumundi Markets offering up arts and crafts from jewellery to bags and clothing.
There are also world-class golf courses where players can tee off on the Australian PGA Championship host course, Palmer Coolum Resort, or enjoy a game at the Twin Waters Golf Club.
For a little of that true Australian wilderness, such as delving into the lush hinterlands of the area, you can head to Maleny or Montville which sit in the Blackhall Range, the mountainous region of southeast Queensland. Drive around the area, and you will be treated to scenic views of the Glass House Mountains.
For beach lovers, the Noosa National Park is where you’ll want to be. With rainforests softening into the pristine beaches the Sunshine Coast is famous for, and a lookout called Dolphin Point where you can take in the views and some leaping marine life, you may find you won’t want to leave.
Nearby Main Beach in Noosa is perfect for families, couples or lone travellers wanting to take advantage of the sun, sea and surf, and conveniently Noosa is populated with plenty of cafes, boutiques, hotels, as well as marketplaces that the Sunshine coast is renowned for.
