Beaches and coastal walks

With beautiful beaches close to each holiday park, a day by the water is one of the easiest free things to do on the Sunshine Coast.

On foot or by bike

Slow down and follow the coastline on foot, by bike or on a scooter. Or if you’re ready to swap the sand for a view, head inland or up high for a different side of the Sunshine Coast.
