The Sunshine Coast is a spectacular region stretching from Double Island Point in the north to Bribie Island in the south. This is the region for whale watching tours from Hervey Bay and 4WD fun on the magnificent Fraser Island. Much of the Sunshine
Coast is still
in its natural state and has not been been lost to the typical high rise development
that has swamped other popular beach location.
Sunshine Coast
holidays involve miles of natural, pristine beaches,
trips to the craft markets in the cool elevated hinterland, bushwalking and
rock-climbing for the adventurous .... and every water sport
imaginable.
Maroochydore - the heart of the Sunshine Coast and only "discovered" by the masses during the 60's. Maroochydore is a combination of golden beaches, parks and the Maroochydore River. Popular holiday resort with a mixture of modern developments together with the original holiday homes. Visit the medieval castle at nearby Bli Bli or the two-thirds replica of Captain Cook's vessel, Endeavour
