Sunshine Beach Suburb Profile 

Quiet, laidback, and on-trend, living in Sunshine Beach offers the perfect balance of a pristine beach on one side and the lush wilderness of Noosa National Park on the other. This quaint seaside spot is a veritable playground for any outdoor enthusiast. Coastal walks and trails that wind through the bushland cater well to hikers and cyclists, with many leading to lookouts that become prime spots during whale-watching season. While surfers are out at the break of dawn, vying for the perfect wave, living in Sunshine Beach is about enjoying every picture-perfect moment by the sea. 

Brunch needs are well met along Duke Street, where cafés serve up hearty, healthy breakfasts, great coffee, and cold-pressed juices. Conveniently, Duke Street is also the hub for award-winning cuisine, boutiques, and surf shops. When craving a broader selection, neighbouring Noosa Heads more than delivers with its impressive line-up of foodie and late-night hangouts. 

Sunshine Beach is also a standout for its family-friendly lifestyle. Lush neighbourhood parks are peppered throughout, and several schools are located within its bounds. This beachside beauty is as much a locals’ haunt as it is a holiday destination.
