Sunshine Coast Waterfront Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Early mornings see a hive of activity around the marina with locals heading out and fishing trawlers returning with their catch. I just love watching it all unfold.

Climbing Mount Coolum.

Awesome views on the top of Mount Coolum! It's a short climb (only half an hour) but it was a good hike due to steep steps near the top of the summit. There were interesting rock formations and fauna on the way as well.

Noosa National Park hosts a treasure trove of magical spots on the coastline. I hiked almost through to Hell's Gates to find this gem. :)
Noosa Main Beach is worth a look this week, the worlds largest surfing festival is on! The Noosa Surfing Festival! Plus the place is just damn pretty! ;)
