Spring is one of the best times of year to visit the Sunshine Coast. The weather is warming up, the beaches are quieter than summer, the whales are still making their spectacular migration, and the days are perfect for getting outdoors.
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend away or a family holiday, spring offers the perfect balance of sunshine, adventure and relaxation. Better yet, staying at Glen Eden Beach Resort in Peregian Beach puts you right in the heart of it all, with direct beach access, lush tropical gardens and some of the Sunshine Coast’s best attractions just a short drive away.
Here’s your ultimate Sunshine Coast Spring Bucket List to make the most of your getaway.
There’s something magical about the Sunshine Coast in spring. Crisp mornings, golden sunrises and kilometres of uncrowded beaches make early starts well worth it.
Step directly onto the sand from Glen Eden Beach Resort and enjoy a peaceful walk along beautiful Peregian Beach before the day begins.
You might even spot dolphins playing in the waves.
Bucket list tip: Grab a takeaway coffee afterwards and enjoy it with your toes in the sand.
Spring is one of the final opportunities to experience the incredible humpback whale migration along the Sunshine Coast.
Watch from scenic headlands, book a whale-watching cruise or simply keep your eyes on the horizon while relaxing on the beach—you never know when a whale might breach.
It’s one of the Sunshine Coast’s most unforgettable natural experiences.
Spring temperatures are ideal for beach days.
