Climate The sub-tropical Sunshine Coast averages 12 hours of sunlight daily, one of the highest ratings in the world. The region enjoys a temperate climate, which is ideal for outdoor events and activities virtually year round.
Be sun smart, the Australian sun is very strong and whilst we want you to enjoy our climate we recommend the use of sun block, sun hats and adequate clothing to guard against any possible sun damage. Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat. Slip, slop, slap!
Clothing In keeping with the relaxed lifestyle, smart casual clothing is standard. A jacket or jumper may be required during winter, especially in the evenings.
