Just one hour drive north of Brisbane in the middle of the beautiful Sunshine Coast of Queensland is one of Australia's favourite beach holiday destinations. Mooloolaba Beach offers a delightful mix of modern beachfront eateries, exciting entertainment venues and a great range of retail outlets all overlooking a pristine white sandy beach and stunning bay. The town offers a huge range of accommodation options, mostly overlooking the water and ranging from luxurious resorts and family apartments to motel and backpacker options.

Those who wish to wine and dine and party the night away are well catered for, though at the same time, visitors to Mooloolaba can simply choose to relax on the beach or around the pool. Mooloolaba boasts nearly 100 eateries, many al fresco, overlooking the beach. The sheltered Mooloolaba Harbour offers a wide range of water activities, from fishing trips to parasailing, scuba diving on the recently scuttled ex-HMAS Brisbane war ship, or a leisurely canal harbour cruise.

The Mooloolaba Wharf complex is home to the Sunshine Coast's most famous attraction, UnderWater World - a fascinating tropical oceanarium, featuring huge sharks, and a dazzling array of other subterranean species. A world class seal show is performed daily. Attractions within a short drive of Mooloolaba include The Big Kart Track, Aussie World and the Ettamogah Pub, Australia Zoo (home of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter), The Big Pineapple, and The Ginger Factory.

The cosmopolitan feel of Mooloolaba is proving very popular with a wide range of both interstate and international visitors. Located in the middle of the Sunshine Coast and the heart of the Maroochy Shire, Mooloolaba is the ideal base for visitors looking to explore Sunshine Coast hinterland towns of Montville, Maleny, Flaxton, Mapleton, Eumundi and Yandina.
