With great swimming, exceptional surfing, and a laid-back lifestyle, Australia's Sunshine Coast makes for the ideal beach destination. From Beerwah in the south to Rainbow Beach in the north, you'll find beautiful beaches, impressive national parks, and a wide selection of Sunshine Coast vacation homes.

Given its weather-appropriate name, it's no surprise that the Sunshine Coast is known for warm, sunny days year-round. From November to March, highs regularly reach the low- to mid-80s. During the winter, high temperatures usually top out in the low 70s. Like much of Australia's east coast, late summer to early fall is the rainy season on the Sunshine Coast. February is typically the wettest month, with nearly 8 inches of rain. If you'd prefer to skip the precipitation and visit during the dry season, plan your trip during the late winter or early spring.
