We’re about all things fresh and fun, boasting everything from beachfront dining at Bistro C (where you’re only a stone’s throw from our golden sand) to coastal cruises with Saltwater Eco Tours, and feasts of farm-fresh goodness high in the Hinterland hills at Mapleton Public House.

Eating prawns at The Surf Club, Mooloolaba

At Mooloolaba, you’ll find one of the busiest fishing ports on Australia’s eastern seaboard. Each morning, fleets of trawlers bring swordfish, prawns, crabs, lobsters, and export-grade tuna – fresh and ready for our consumption. The choice is yours as to whether you enjoy fresh fish and chips on the beach (Mooloolah River Fisheries is worth checking out!) or dine in on local seafood at one of our many award-winning restaurants, pubs, and surf clubs.

Sunshine & Sons

While it’s no secret the Sunshine Coast is Australia’s Craft Beer Capital, we’re also home to an emerging distillery scene. Here, local brewers and distillers find inspiration in their surroundings – producing everything from a Pineapple Parfait gin (that pays homage to the Big Pineapple in Nambour), to an Amber Lager inspired by Noosa’s sunsets. We recommend booking your spot on a craft beer tour to witness the brewing in action!
