Summer on the Sunshine Coast revolves around days spent at the beach, escapes to the hinterland and of course, time with family.<\/p>\n
And with school wrapping up for another year, the Coast\u2019s tourism operators are gearing up for an influx of holiday-makers from our southern states looking to make the most of the season.<\/p>\n
Bookings for the summer period are looking positive, and if good weather prevails, we can expect a spike in last-minute bookings.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re visiting the region or enjoying a staycation with the kids, there\u2019s plenty of family-friendly activities to do across the Sunshine Coast this summer.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to stay cool, why not head to the hinterland to explore the waterfalls.<\/p>\n
Gardners Falls in Maleny promises a refreshing swim, while Kondalilla National Park is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic before venturing down the valley to the falls.<\/p>\n
The Sunshine Coast is known, and loved, for its beachside culture, and no summer would be complete without a day at the beach. Simply pack the esky with local produce and find yourself a spot on the sand, with so many beaches to choose from, you\u2019re sure to find your own piece of paradise.<\/p>\n
Big on the calendar these school holidays is the Under the Southern Stars festival, an all-ages event headlined by Hoodoo Gurus, You Am I and Sheppard to be held on 20 January 2019 at Sunshine Coast Stadium.<\/p>\n
Another one to remember is The Ginger Flower and Food Festival, from 18-20 January 2019, and the Caloundra Twilight markets, which will be held every Friday night on Bulcock beach until 25 January.<\/p>\n
Whatever you choose to do, I hope you have a safe and enjoyable break this Christmas, and happy and healthy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
