The Sunshine Coast of Queensland encompasses a variety of attractions, including beach resorts, surf spots, and rural hinterland. From the coastal city of Caloundra, near Brisbane, up north to the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park, visitors can explore multi-coloured sand dunes, mangrove forests, and waterways. Noosa Heads, with its boutique shops and waterways, is a must-see for those visiting the Sunshine Coast.

The Sunshine Coast is home to more national parks than any other region in Queensland. Five national parks protect the natural diversity of the region, including the Glass House Mountains National Park, Noosa National Park, and Great Sandy, which includes Fraser Island and Cooloolah near Rainbow Beach. The region’s climate is humid subtropical with no dry season and plenty of precipitation. The region’s climate varies by season, but summer temperatures are comfortable year-round, with temperatures averaging 20 degrees Celsius.
