Marcoola: A Coastal Escape on the Sunshine Coast

Marcoola offers a quieter alternative to some of the Sunshine Coast’s more bustling destinations while still delivering the natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere Queensland is famous for. With its uncrowded beaches, surrounding national parks, and close proximity to both Noosa and Maroochydore, Marcoola is a peaceful sanctuary where travellers can truly unwind. Loved by families, surfers, and anyone craving a coastal escape, Marcoola blends beachside charm with easy access to local food markets, walking trails, and nearby hinterland adventures.

Why Visit Marcoola?

Marcoola is ideal for those seeking a slower pace without sacrificing proximity to popular attractions. Visitors are drawn here for early-morning beach walks, afternoons of paddleboarding or kite surfing, and evenings spent watching the sun set behind Mount Coolum. With a strong community spirit, weekend markets, and beachside cafés, Marcoola encourages visitors to reconnect with nature and simplicity. It’s also a fantastic base for day trips to Noosa, the Glass House Mountains, or the Eumundi Markets.
