The Coast begins at Caloundra, just one hour's drive north of Brisbane and extends to Cooloola, the gateway to Fraser Island.

It's holiday central for both couples and families.

The beaches of the Sunshine Coast are varied from gentle waves to serious surf with unlimited options for fun and relaxation. With endless stretches of golden beaches, fishing, boating and other aquatic possibilities and a year-round holiday feel with its beautiful mild climate.
