The Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia, is one of the country’s most important tourist destinations. The region is situated just north of Brisbane, right on the coast and it features some of the finest beaches and hinterland scenery in the land. The tourist infrastructure on the Sunshine Coast is extremely well developed and there is plenty to see and do while the Sunshine Coast hotel accommodation options are enormous. This region is home to such fabulous attractions as the late Steve Irwin’s Australia Zoo, Underwater World theme park where you can dive with the sharks or be amazed in the walk through aquarium. The Noosa River, Teewah Beach, the Malany tableland and the Glasshouse mountains are must see destinations.

The Sunshine Coast region consists of a number of sub regions each with its own particular charm. In the south lies the city of Caloundra. This area fronts several great beaches as well as Pumistone Passage which is the waterway lying between Bribie Island and the mainland. This is a great family destination with plenty of calm water for bathing, fishing or boating. There is also plenty of places to stay, both on the waterfront and nearby that will cater for every budget. A little further north is the beachfront resort town of Mooloolaba. Here you will find all the chic cafés, restaurants and boutiques lining the esplanade and a great holiday atmosphere. Much of the accommodation here is affordable while at the same time being of extremely high quality.

Just north the town of Maroochydore lies on the banks of the Maroochy River and once again there is plenty to do and see. The golfing fanatic will be in their element with many quality courses to choose from. Shopping is also a popular pastime and the Sunshine Plaza shopping centre will be on your doorstep. As you travel further north you will pass through the beachfront centres of Marcoola and Coolum. Both of these are very popular holiday destinations.
