About Sunshine Beach
Sunshine Beach is a coastal suburb in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland, located 1.8 kilometres southeast of Noosa Heads and 137 kilometres north of Brisbane. The area south of Noosa Headlands was formerly known as Golden Beach and was rarely visited before the 1920s. In 1928 Thomas Marcus Burke gained land there in exchange for building roads and bridges, and after World War II his son Marcus marketed it as Sunshine Beach. The suburb is bordered by the Coral Sea to the east and is home to the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club which began patrols in 1980, one of the youngest clubs in Australia.
