Sunshine Beach is a coastal town located in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland, known for its pristine white sand beaches and energetic surf breaks. The area was once called Golden Beach but was renamed and developed after World War II. It exudes a relaxed holiday vibe, with a village offering a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops set under a canopy of green trees and pandanus palms. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks along the beach, bike rides, and water activities like surfing and swimming. The beach is part of a 15-kilometer stretch of coastline and offers stunning views, especially from the 'Sunshine Beach stairs', which lead to clifftop vistas of Noosa National Park.
The locale is ideal for spotting marine life, including humpback whales during their migration season. It is also close to Noosa Heads, making it accessible for those looking to explore more of the Sunshine Coast area.
With its laid-back atmosphere, Sunshine Beach is perfect for a serene getaway while still offering a range of amenities and activities for an engaging vacation.
