Maroochydore is the ideal destination for an unpretentious family holiday at the beach. Sited at the estuary of the Maroochy River, holidaymakers have the choice of quiet river activities or great surfing beaches. Hire a houseboat for a holiday with a difference and meander up the waterways, book a river cruise, hire a 'tinnie' for a spot of fishing or just fish from the banks. There are kilometres of gorgeous golden surf beaches for surfing, swimming, fishing and beach walks. Look for the patrolled beaches and only swim between the flags.

Among the many attractions to visit are the Endeavour Replica, Nostalgia Town, Bli Bli Castle, Ski and Skurf Cable Water Ski Park and Olympia Theme Park. Nearby Mooloolaba is home to the wonderful attraction Underwater World. Visit the huge Sunshine Plaza shopping centre at Maroochydore and also explore the many small galleries and arts and craft shops in the region. You will also find weekend markets at Cotton Tree.
