With travel restrictions easing and the cooler weather settling in, July is the perfect time to explore parts of the Sunshine Coast you haven’t experienced before. We have done all of the planning for you, so just pack your stuff and get to the Coast!

Friday

Get that early mark off work and hit the road, it’s time to check into one of the Coast’s wonderfully diverse accommodation. Who isn’t craving waking up somewhere a bit different after all this time at home?

Areas like Mapleton and Montville will have you waking up to the clouds, in the middle of a rainforest or settling into a cottage with a local wine and a crackling fireplace.

Saturday

It’s time to visit Nambour! A community rich in history and natural beauty, that has a bustling local coffee and foodie scene. Start the morning with a delicious creamy coffee from the team at Small Change, and peek at the street art tucked around the corner while you sip.

Your Saturday afternoon is sorted, with Nambour Showgrounds hosting a brand-new drive in music festival.  Airwaves is bought to you by the creators of Buskers by the Lake, and will have some of Australia’s own punk rockers, indie pop and folk performers. Catch The Chats and Bugs on Saturday and enjoy the live performance from the comfort of your car.
