Sunshine Coast Surfing
Sponsored Links
The Sunshine Coast's white surf beaches stretch for over 70 kilometres. The Sunshine Coast is essentially a low rise alternative to the Gold Coast, and has many unspoilt and secluded beaches with awesome breaks that are ready to be surfed.
While the Sunshine Coast rarely sees the giant swells that places like the Gold Coast's Snapper Rocks experiences there are many point and beach breaks that provide high quality, well shaped waves. The breaks by and large are not as busy as those further south. The breaks around the Noosa National park offer clean waves with SE winds. Alexandra Headlands has a nice right hander point break...but watch out for the board eating rocks.
