The Sunshine Coast combines beaches, coastal towns and hinterland. Begin with the Queensland destination overview (opens in a new tab) and visitor information (opens in a new tab) to plan around current conditions.
The Sunshine Coast includes Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country. The Council’s First Nations guidance (opens in a new tab) and Queensland’s Kabi Kabi Rangers information (opens in a new tab) are useful starting points for respectful learning.
For beaches, use the Council’s beach information (opens in a new tab) to identify patrolled and unpatrolled locations. Follow flags and warnings, check conditions at arrival, and avoid swimming alone or in unsafe conditions.
