There’s more to the Sunshine Coast than postcard-perfect beaches, and a hire car is the best way to uncover a brighter day. Linger over long lunches in Hastings Street, chase waterfalls through the Glass House Mountains, find treasures at Eumundi Markets or follow the road up to Maleny, where the views stretch all the way back to the coast.
Or simply linger at a pretty beachside cafe until the afternoon gives you a reason to move. Get more from your visit with Sunshine Coast car hire.
