The Historical Spots of the Sunshine Coast
Many families want to take advantage of the fact that their children will be in a location that is somewhat different from their own. On the Sunshine Coast, you can visit many places that have an historical and cultural significance for the area, such as going to Gympie which is the centre of the 1867 gold rush and home to a 12-day festival where you will see massive floats, free entertainment and lots of fun for the family.
Some of the other places that you must visit while on Queensland"s Sunshine Coast are the Landsborough Museum, SS Dicky, Sunshine Castle and the Valley Rattler.
Water Sports Adventure
Your family may want to simply lay on the beach of the Sunshine Coast, but there is a lot more to do than to just sit around. Experience amazing adventures like riding a jet-ski, or taking surf lessons on one of the most beautiful beaches in the area - other water sports that you can find lessons for or just enjoy include waterskiing, wakeboarding, tube riding, bare-foot skiing and even kite surfing for those who really love to feel that rush of adrenaline.
