Food and beverage producers call Austraia’s Sunshine Coast home.

The naturally refreshing Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia has undergone a gastronomical revolution where more than 500 food and beverage producers call the region home. It’s no wonder the region has a reputation as the leading destination where the clean, green environ yields quality produce with a unique regional flavour.

From waterfront restaurants to specialised cafes, food festivals to cooking schools, the naturally refreshing Sunshine Coast is a foodie wonderland guaranteed to tempt your tastebuds and satiate the appetite. Using a choice of regional produce grown in the lush hinterland, or plucked fresh from rivers and surrounding ocean, world class and innovative chefs will tantalise your tastebuds at an array of dining venues.

The climate is perfect for an outdoor lifestyle, which makes the Sunshine Coast a special holiday destination. Stunning views can be found from a beach, on a boardwalk, along an esplanade or from a lookout. With over 100 kilometres of sandy coastline, peaceful everglades, dramatic waterfalls, lush rainforest and colourful underwater worlds, we invite you to experience the naturally refreshing Sunshine Coast.

The natural beauty and breathtaking landscape, is complimented with a wide selection of accommodation from camping to five star luxury which can be found on the beachfront, or nestled in the hinterland.  This is enhanced with sophisticated shopping, entertainment, festivals, music and sporting events in a relaxed environment.

The Sunshine Coast is home to two major food festivals throughout the year. The Noosa International Food and Wine Festival held in May and the Real Food Festival in September and this Goddess highly recommends you attend both!.
