Sunshine Coast’s long coastline is by far the jewel in the crown. There are nearly two dozen beaches, over a dozen of them patrolled, enough to leave visitors mesmerised. Powdery white sands meet azure and turquoise blue waters, offering a host of activities but by far, the most popular activity is surfing. Noosa’s location and the bay ensure that there are giant waves that are ideal for surfing. Even on a weekday, it is common to see scores of surfers paddle out and ride the waves, making the task look so easy, almost poetry in motion. On weekends, the numbers swell. Even non surfers are bound to have a fantastic time watching the surfers do their stuff. For eager learners, there are many service providers to get you started.
