Markets & Shopping

Indulging in a spot of retail therapy is as much a part of a Sunshine Coast holiday as a swim in the surf. Stroll along beachfront boulevards, visit boutiques and speciality stores at one of the coast's vibrant Shopping Centres & Precincts ( Adobe Acrobat - 80.454KB ) wander through Markets ( Adobe Acrobat - 83.423KB ) , or stop for coffee at Sunshine Plaza .

Whether it's a week day or weekend, a fantastic way to start the day is at our markets. The famous Eumundi Market is an iconic reflection of the Sunshine Coast 's special culture. The market motto, "Make it, bake it, grow it or sew it" is passionately observed by its dozens of farmers, producers, artisans and craftsmen who set up their stalls before first light under the shade of massive, ancient fig trees.

Meet the growers and producers at the Noosa or Big Pineapples Farmers’ Markets or step straight from a swim to one of the beachfront markets, cooled by gentle sea breezes. Or you can experience authentic country-style markets, where organic fruit and vegetables vie for attention with hand-dyed silks and beautifully made handicrafts.

Cruise boutiques along main street boulevards such as Noosa’s famous Hastings Street and Montville ’s charming Main Street. Take time out for a coffee or brunch with water views along the coast or scenic hinterland lookouts.

For serious shoppers, Sunshine Plaza at Maroochydore blends waterside leisure to the shopping environment with cafes, department and speciality stores standing alongside and over Cornmeal Creek.
