Sunshine coastal Drive :
Mooloolaba is camera ready from every angle! Snap a sunrise shot along the coastal walk that wraps around the main beach for some stunning pink and orange hues. The natural rock pools make for some epic photos whether from the beach or up above with a drone. If early rising isn’t your thing, head to the marina to grab a shot of the sunset with a cold glass of bubbles and fresh Mooloolaba prawns. It doesn’t matter if you’re up with the sun, long-lunching or sunset dining, the backdrop of Mooloolaba’s blue skies, shimmering water and golden sun will be enough to make you want to pull the camera out.
Farm to fork
As you drive through the Sunshine Coast Hinterland make sure to keep a look out for rustic produce stalls by the roadside.
Here local farmers are selling anything from pineapples to macadamia nuts, avocados or citrus freshly picked that morning, an honesty box the preferred method of payment.
If you wonder just what goes on beyond the farm gate, take part in a Farm to Fork tour, visit a winery or embark on a factory tour. Creative Tours and Events will take you behind the scenes to meet the locals and hear their stories, before finishing with a lunch celebrating the produce you just saw.
For a real paddock to plate experience, People, Plates & Places hold pop-up events across the Sunshine Coast, bringing diners straight to the farm to dine under the stars.
If you’re looking to get hands on, the region is also home to a number of cooking schools that will have you eating like a local in no time, such as Spirit House Restaurant & Cooking School or The Tamarind Cooking School.
