Plan Your Stay on the Sunshine Coast

Spring on the Sunshine Coast is the perfect time to visit, with warm sunshine, blue skies and endless opportunities to explore.

With average daytime temperatures of around 26°C, October offers ideal conditions to enjoy world-class sport alongside everything the region has to offer. From stunning beaches and coastal walks to vibrant markets, award-winning dining and family-friendly attractions, there’s something for everyone.

It’s also one of the best times of year to experience the Sunshine Coast’s famous whale watching season, with humpback whales still making their annual migration along the coastline. Between championship matches, take to the water for the chance to witness these incredible giants breaching, tail-slapping and playing just offshore.

PLAY. STAY. EXPLORE.
