After our adventure at Lone Pine, we headed to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The Sunshine Coast is amazing! It’s our favorite place for beaches. Commercial and residential development is managed, so there is almost always a green belt between houses and the beach. There are countless paths that take you through, and once you are on the beach, you can’t see the houses. It feels like I’m in the middle of nowhere on a beach. There are only a handful of people ever on the beach, depending on the area. It is a very relaxing place to be.


We stayed at Castaways Beach. This was an excellent location for us – halfway between Noosa and Peregian. We got seafood from the Noosa Junction Seafood Market. The Noosa Farmer’s Market was also excellent. We purchased fresh fruits and vegetables, locally farmed-meat, mud crabs, and Maleny dairy products plus tried out a couple of the food vendors for an early lunch. I had chicken roti from Dragon Roti, and it was delicious!
Another of our favorite things on the Sunshine Coast is the Eumundi Markets. Check them out when you are in the area. This is an enormous market with produce, food, decorations, jewelry, and more. Our favorite booth is Nature’s Cutting Boards. The boards are made from camphor laurel and smell divine. We have many at home, and still, we buy more. Check out what we got this time. If only they weren’t so heavy…
