On the Sunshine Coast, there’s bound to be a stretch of sand somewhere with your name on it, whether you’re looking for earthy adventures or something a little more polished. You’ll find a myriad of beach towns, each with their own distinct flavour, vast stretches of pristine beaches and several attractive resorts available with Flight Centre to suit a range of tastes and budgets. Stretching from the tip of Bribie Island to the Cooloola Coast, the Sunshine Coast and its diverse natural scenery are ready and waiting for your arrival. Read on for a taste of what you can expect.
A STROLL THROUGH NOOSA
Noosa is Australia’s relaxation capital, where two Unesco Biospheres meet glamorous bars and restaurants, as well as boutique shopping. It’s a destination that combines Queensland’s surfer lifestyle with a more refined touch.
If you’re searching for the natural experience to make you forget everything else, you should find it blissfully easy to empty your head in the Noosa Everglades. Stretching for almost 40 miles, the Noosa Everglades are a pristine wilderness area branching out into a complex system of lakes and rivers, surrounded by natural Australian bushland. And the best way to experience these labyrinthine waterways is in a kayak. Paddle at your own pace through Lake Cootharaba and the narrows of the Upper Noosa River, and watch the light of the sun and colour of the vegetation permeate the fresh water, as birds soar from the canopy of the forest.
