Sunshine Coast is home to a variety of wildlife and marine life. To catch a glimpse of them, tourists visit the esteemed Australia Zoo, which is home to the world-renowned Irwin couple and a wide variety of animals. Sea creature lovers can visit the Underwater World, which houses a number of rare and beautiful underwater species. The Sunshine Coast is also where the Aussie World, the Big Pineapple, the Buderim Ginger Factory, and the Majestic Theatre stand graciously proud.

Sunshine Coast boasts of its natural attractions. It has a wide range of national parks that are appealing to tourists from all over. The natural biodiversity that lies in the area is well-protected by five parks located both in the inland and coastal regions. The Noosa National Park, one of the most visited, is found on the beach resort centre of the area. The Cooloola (Great Sandy) National Park is also a perfect relaxing spot found right across the Cooloola beach coastline. Other such wonders include the Kondalilla and Mapleton Falls National Park.

To add more to the spectacular nature views, the small dairy town of Caboolture offers attractive parks and stunning lakes, including the Centenary Lakes. The Glass House Mountains also offer breath-taking sceneries with its majestic landscape and provides a good number of walking trails that are perfect to walk through.

The tranquil hinterland extends towards the Blackall Range, and the Mary Valley, which are both popular nature spots as well. The seemingly unending beach stretch in the coastal towns of Mooloolaba, Noosa, Caloundra, Coolum Beach, Maroochydore and Alexandra Headland are holiday centrals that draw in hundreds and thousands of visitors each year.

Visitors love exploring the area and enjoying the scenic views that if offers. One can enjoy tours and attractions, go wandering off in the markets on one day then go canoeing, or swimming or fishing on another. The surf beaches, as well as rivers and sheltered bays are excellent swimming spots that are well-loved by tourists. Going to quiet rainforest walks, playing a round of golf, getting an indulgent massage of dining into one of the mountain-based restaurants or by the sea are additional options.

The available Sunshine Coast accommodation options are just as varied as the diverse offerings in the region. There are a hundred options for all types of tourists - the best backpacker hostels, camping and caravan parks, warm country pubs to high-rise hotels, and self-contained apartments and cabins are widely available in the area. Of course, luxurious resorts are always the most idyllic of locations, as well as bed and breakfasts and farm stays.

The Sunshine Coast lives up to its name with its unbeatable climate. It enjoys a pleasant subtropical climate with average summer temperatures and mild, sunny winters. This almost always favourable weather, matched with the abundant natural beauty in the area, makes the city very ideal for a quick holiday get-away or an amazingly relaxing but fun-filled vacation.
