Paddling near Sunshine Coast, Queensland

The Sunshine Coast stretches along southeast Queensland from Caloundra in the south to the Great Sandy National Park in the north, taking in estuaries, tidal creeks, coastal lakes and open ocean. The Maroochy River and Mooloolah River are the backbone of the local flatwater scene, while the Noosa River and its everglades draw paddlers from across the region. SUP, sea kayaking and recreational canoeing are all well established here.
