Before Noosa…Do This.
Most visitors land on the Sunshine Coast and head straight for the beach. But 20 minutes inland, there’s a town that moves to its own rhythm.
Eumundi is markets that sprawl, live music on every corner, boutiques you won’t find anywhere else, and tropical brews at Matso’s while the kids run wild in the garden.
It’s creative. It’s a little quirky. And it’s the kind of place you didn’t know you were missing.
If you fly to the Sunshine Coast, you’ll be able to check out the videos at baggage claim at the airport, safe in the knowledge that if you’re heading to Noosa, you’re going to be just 15 minutes’ away from all that Eumundi has to offer.
So, if you’re wondering “Is Eumundi worth visiting?” – the answer is a resounding yes. And here’s why…
