Escape Winter: Discover the Sunshine Coast's Warm Coastal Charm
While our friends in Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, and New Zealand start to feel the chill, the Sunshine Coast turns on the charm with warm days, blue skies, and a relaxed coastal vibe — making winter the perfect time to escape north.
Mild Winter Weather on the Sunshine Coast
Winter on the Sunshine Coast means mild, sunny days with average temperatures of 20–22°C — ideal for outdoor adventures without the summer heat. Whether it’s hiking, beach days, or alfresco dining, it's the perfect season to explore.
Australia’s Best Beaches Without the Crowds
Queensland is famous for its beaches, and the Sunshine Coast boasts some of Australia’s best — from Noosa and Mooloolaba to Coolum and beyond. Winter brings a peaceful reprieve from the summer crowds, so you can enjoy a refreshing swim, a kayak on calm waters, or a sunset walk along the shore in serenity.

Food lovers are in for a treat, too. Think freshly caught Mooloolaba prawns, artisan cheese boards in the hinterland, long lunches at Montville and Maleny vineyards, and local craft beer tastings or cooking classes — there's something to satisfy every palate.
