Australia's Nature Coast
A naturally beautiful and diverse region, Australia’s Nature Coast spans the Sunshine and the Fraser Coasts in southern Queensland, encompassing a wealth of exciting and awe-inspiring locations in between.
Including the Glasshouse Mountains, Lady Elliot Island, the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Pumicestone Passage, there is a wealth of exciting attractions to explore. Holidays to the coast are a step back to nature, where white sand beaches, bushlands and national parks are found in abundance.
This area is a complete holiday destination in itself – everything you could want from an Australian escape can be found here. Gourmet dining, fantastic nightlife and indulgent spa breaks complement picturesque hikes, exhilarating watersports and adventure tours through the scenic landscape.
Sunshine Coast
Sun-kissed and unspoiled, the Sunshine Coast is a refreshingly peaceful retreat. Brimming with sugary beaches, secluded mountain villages and dense rainforests, it’s a haven for nature lovers. Home to a captivating array of wildlife and birds, as well as the Kondalilla Falls and Glasshouse Mountains National Parks, hikes and wildlife tours are highly recommended.
This sub-tropical blend of vibrant foliage and butterscotch beaches has remained relatively uncrowded by tourism. But the serenity and laid-back nature of this area is precisely what makes it such a captivating place to visit.
The coastal towns of this area, including Noosa, Coolum and Caloundra, are the perfect blend of casual and opulent – take your pick from lavish hotels to authentic farmstays. And if it’s classic Australian beach towns you’re looking for, head to Mooloolaba or Alexandra Headland. In addition to the natural side of the Sunshine Coast, it’s also a great place to indulge – seek out the arts and culture, go shopping in the bustling markets or enjoy a rejuvenating spa break.
Fraser Coast
Comprising Fraser Island and Hervey Bay, the Fraser Coast is a truly exceptional destination. Boasting myriad natural wonders, from two World Heritage-listed Sites to behemoth rainforests and Seventy-Five Mile Beach, the Fraser Coast is utterly breath-taking.
Home to some of the rarest species in the world, the Fraser Coast is a haven for wildlife. Filled with pockets of secluded wetlands, mangroves and unspoiled coves, you’ll find an abundance of animals and birds thriving along this inspiring stretch of coastline.
Activities on the Fraser Coast all make the most of the beautiful surroundings, so it’s perfect for visitors looking for outdoor pursuits. Go fishing, whale watching or take part in an adventure tour.
