Why Sunshine Coast?

A paradise for longboarders and cruisers, with some of the smoothest waves in Australia.

  • Beginner-friendly beach breaks like Alexandra Headland and Mooloolaba
  • Laid-back surf towns with stunning natural beauty
  • Less crowded than the Gold Coast, especially outside Noosa festivals
