MarcoolaMarcoola: 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.
Top Attractions in and Around Marcoola
Marcoola Beach
Stretching for miles, this quiet, patrolled beach offers soft sands and rolling surf with far fewer crowds than nearby hotspots. Ideal for swimmers, surfers, and sunrise watchers.
Mount Coolum National Park
Just a short drive away, Mount Coolum offers a rewarding summit hike with panoramic views of the Sunshine Coast. A must for nature lovers and photographers.
Marcoola Twilight Markets
Held on Friday evenings, these markets feature local food vendors, live music, and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. Great for tasting regional flavors and mingling with locals.
Mudjimba Island
Visible offshore, this protected marine zone is popular for kayaking, snorkeling, and diving. Tours often leave from nearby beaches.
Sunshine Coast Airport Proximity
Conveniently located right next to the airport, Marcoola is the perfect quick getaway for interstate travellers seeking instant immersion in nature.
Dining in Marcoola: Local, Laid-Back, Delicious
While Marcoola isn’t packed with restaurants, its handful of beachside cafés, boutique coffee shops, and fresh seafood spots punch above their weight. Visitors love discovering local favourites like fresh fish and chips, vibrant acai bowls, and the best barista coffee in town—all within walking distance of the beach.
