Sunshine Coast Family Holidays

If you are looking for a holiday everyone will enjoy, visit the Sunshine Coast Queensland. It is about an hour north of Brisbane Queensland and is known for stunning Sunshine Coast beaches, wonderful country drives through the hinterland and plenty of family attractions. Sunshine Coast family holidays are as varied as the surrounding countryside.

If your family wants a Sunshine Coast beach holiday - playing in the surf, digging sandcastles and enjoying the sunshine – then head to the coast. There is plenty of Sunshine Coast family accommodation within walking distance of the beaches. Book into one of the many Sunshine Coast family resorts and enjoy the closeness to beaches, swimming pools, in-resort restaurants and kids clubs.

If you head into the hinterlands, Sunshine Coast holidays are all about bush walking through the Glasshouse Mountains and exploring interesting villages and townships.

Take a day trip to one of the family parks on the Sunshine Coast. Aussie Park, or Aussie World as locals call it, gives an experience of early Australia combined with pay as you ride roller coasters and other family rides. Just look for the Ettamogah pub on the highway near Caloundra.

Australia Zoo is more than just crocodiles. Enjoy tigers, elephants and native animals in a well cared for and educational environment.

If you go up the highway towards Nambour you will see the Big Pineapple, a Sunshine Coast icon. Taste a tropical parfait after riding the sugar cane train around the tropical fruit plantation.

Sunshine Coast family holidays will be remembered long after you get the last piece of sand out of your suitcase.
