The Sunshine Coast offers an action-packed calendar this winter highlighted by whale and marine activities, Hinterland trekking and enticing festivals including The Curated Plate, which celebrates the Sunshine Coast’s rich produce and culinary scene.
Crowning the winter attractions will be the relaunch of the Sunshine Coast’s most famous tourism icon – the Big Pineapple, which is reopening with a new café, children’s playground and slick new train.
Mooloolaba is at the heart of not just whale watching but swimming with whales and even listening to whales. You can also enjoy sunset drinks and famed Mooloolaba prawns as you watch the wondrous sea mammals on their migration during the Curated Plate festival.
Sunshine Coast operators are also offering discounted rates over the winter period, including the school holidays.
