Whale watching on the Sunshine Coast…..Great fun
Have you ever seen a school of Whales diving and playing within a few metres of
your boat? A 2 hour flight north of Sydney or an hour’s drive north of Brisbane,
there’s a quiet tourist boom going on for a formerly sleepy town of
Coolum Beach, where Whale Watching on the Sunshine Coast is just one of the
things to do in Coolum, and is fast becoming an international draw. When it comes
to what’s on in Coolum, whale watching on the sunshine coast is often mentioned as
the tourists’activity of choice. Take a 30 minute boat or small cruise ride out toward
Norfolk and enjoy beverages and the calm ocean waters, while waiting for
whale sightings. The winter seasons are perfect for this. Also in the area
of ocean activities, scuba diving should be on your list, as well as
visiting the Coral Sea. The ocean activities are usually just a day trip,
but small yachts are available at a premium, for stays that last longer than
a day and carry over through the evening to the next morning. When you dock
back at Coolum, a recent relative boom in the downtown’s fine dining
establishments provide comparison with Melbourne’s and Sydney’s. It isn’t uncommon
to find such a bar and restaurant nestled in between a surf shop or coffee
café; so expect a great culinary experience, but don’t over dress; you’re
not in the city, and Coolum is very much a relaxed vacation spot with
leisure as its primary order of business.A day’s whale watching then
Barramundi and chips as the sun goes down…..a great experience for the family.
