Sunshine Coast

Why go

The region gives several distinct Queensland days within one name: beaches around Caloundra and Mooloolaba, the Noosa coast, and inland towns such as Maleny. It is most useful as a planning area for pairing nearby places, not as a single attraction with one arrival point.

What to look for

• Compare Caloundra, Mooloolaba and Noosa's different coastal settings.
• Head inland toward Maleny for a change from beach scenery.
• Notice how the coast and hinterland shape separate travel routes.

Useful to know

• Select a named beach, trail or town as the day's anchor before estimating travel time.
• Treat inland villages and the northern coast as separate outings if your time is short.
