Maroochydore: the changing face of a great holiday destination
We revisited Maroochydore recently and found it has undergone a transformation with new high-rise apartment blocks and excellent restaurants and cafes.
Maroochy was once the poor cousin to Mooloolaba and Noosa but is catching up with recent development.
My grown children, though, love the rough and tumble of the large Mooloolaba surf and the trendy shopping.

Maroochy: twin benefits
Maroochydore Beach offers great surfing and board riding. It has become the favorite location for kitesurfing.
If you are lucky enough you can get accommodation that gives you a view of both the river estuary and the breakers on Maroochydore Beach.

- Maroochy Holiday and Travel Information
- Accommodation, adventures and local attractions:
"Maroochy is the heart of the Sunshine Coast, and has a wealth of attractions, both man-made and natural, golden beaches, rivers, beautiful rainforests and breathtaking vistas from the Blackall Range." - Maroochydore: places to visit and see
- Travel guide and map, accommodation and attractions:
"Cotton Tree, an ocean-side suburb on the Maroochy River, is a popular holiday spot, well-serviced by holiday flats and a caravan park. The rivermouth, which is a kite surfers paradise, was once the site of a large timbermill from where the local lumber was shipped to Brisbane by paddle-steamer. There are river cruises, and great fishing opportunities in this aquatic paradise." - Walkabout Guide to Maroochydore
- Travellers tips, things to see, local attractions:
"Located 98 km from Brisbane, it has kilometres of golden beaches, fishing, boating and other aquatic possibilities, small shopping centres geared to the tourists (notably the Big Top Shopping Centre in Sunshine Plaza which spans Cornmeal Creek), some small industrial development in the hinterland, and a sense of holidays in the air all year round. Moreover, it sits at the estuary of the Maroochy River , thus juxtaposing quiet waterways and a plenitude of pleasant riverside parks and picnic areas with the more exuberant surf beaches."
