Sunshine Beach

Just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Sunshine Coast’s holiday heartland of Noosa Heads is the stunning little beach community of Sunshine Beach.

Life is hard in Sunshine Beach. You’ll want to get up early to see the magic of the sunrise. Then you spy that little café with its yummy breakfasts. Next it’s time for a coastal cliff walk to spot the dolphins, followed by an al fresco lunch to celebrate that achievement. You’ll feel like cooling off with a swim at the beach again before having dinner out. It’s all go, go, go. So hard.
