Just a one hour drive north from Brisbane, you will come across the beautiful Sunshine Coast. This tour only includes a few of the many gorgeous beaches that exist in this area. There is the ever popular Noosa Beach, but if you prefer something a place with less people but just as nice, then check out Marcoola or Kawana Beach. Getting closer towards Brisbane, you can find another popular place called Mooloolaba beach. Located close to here is the lookout at Point Cartwright and the famous tourist destination UnderWater World.
There are many places to stay in the Sunshine Coast, but if you want direct access to Marcoola Beach, then check out the Discovery Beach Resort. (Click here to visit the official Discovery Beach Resort website.) If you're keen on fishing then you should definately pay a visit to Kawana Bait and Tackle.
If the rainforest is more your idea of fun then the Sunshine Coast even contains the Blackall Range Hinterland. Some popular little towns on top of the range include Maleny, Montville, Flaxton, and Mapleton. These towns are famous for many different pieces of artwork for sale in the shops lining the streets. It's also a great place to have lunch on the week-end. If you want more than just lunch, then a great place to visit is Kondalilla Falls for a swim. To get there, walk along the track through the rainforest and admire the stunning views along the way.
