The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s best family holiday destinations, with a huge range of activities and attractions suitable for kids of all ages. From La Mer Beachfront Apartments in Sunshine Beach, families have easy access to some of the region’s best family days out.
Sunshine Beach
Start with what’s right on your doorstep — Sunshine Beach is patrolled 7 days a week and offers safe swimming, bodyboarding and sandcastle building. The gentle waves make it perfect for younger children, while older kids can try surfing with one of Noosa’s local surf schools.
Australia Zoo
Steve Irwin’s famous Australia Zoo is just 45 minutes drive from La Mer and is a must-do for families visiting the Sunshine Coast. Home to hundreds of native and exotic animals including crocodiles, tigers, koalas and kangaroos, Australia Zoo offers a full day of wildlife experiences.
Noosa National Park
The short coastal walk to Tea Tree Bay and Dolphin Point in Noosa National Park is perfect for families with older children. Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles and in season, humpback whales from the clifftop lookouts.
Noosa River
Noosa Watersports on Gympie Terrace offers boat hire, kayaks and stand up paddleboards on the calm Noosa River — perfect for families with younger children who prefer flat water adventures.
Eumundi Markets
The famous Eumundi Markets run every Wednesday and Saturday morning, just 30 minutes drive from La Mer. With over 600 stalls selling local produce, arts, crafts and food, it’s a great family outing for a market morning.
