Sunshine Coast Surfing Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • Two-time Australian and World Pro-Am champion Merrick Davis opened a kid-friendly surf school called Learn to Surf in Noosa in 1992, with two-hour to five-day courses.
  • The Noosa National Park, next to the town of Noosa, has a popular surf spot named Alexandria Bay (call it "A Bay" if you want to sound local), which is also a popular nude beach.
  • The suburb of Noosa called Sunshine Beach attracts surfers of all levels, with right and left beach breaks and a sandy bottom.
  • Every mid-March, the Noosa Festival of Surfing crowds the town, so be sure to make reservations early.

On the southeastern corner of the state of Queensland, the popular Sunshine Coast stretches from the family-friendly town of Caloundra, through the central heart of the coast at Maroochy, all the way north to the deserted beaches of Cooloola. Inland, the lush hinterlands include mountain towns like Maleny, Montville, and Mapleton, which lead to the otherworldly, spire-like Glass House Mountains. But the ocean is the real star of the region. Less developed than its southern neighbor the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast presents a nice mix of sophisticated beach towns and first-class lodgings (many in the form of holiday apartments), wrapped up in a laid-back surfer, beach bum culture.
