I’m really excited to interview Leanne and Lyle McCabe of Beach Travel Wine about Sunshine Coast, Australia. Leanne and Lyle’s tips for the best things to do in Sunshine Coast are awesome because they owned a local business that they sold in 2019 so they could spend more time at Sunshine Coast beaches and traveling the world. They love the gorgeous weather, beautiful beaches and amazing people.

Getting around Sunshine Coast

The local airport is Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY), which supports all local airlines. The closest international airport is Brisbane Airport (BNE), which is an hour and half away from Sunshine Coast. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.

Leanne and Lyle say that it’s best to rent a car so you can easily explore all of the cities along the Sunshine Coast. For the best rental car offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.

Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around if you’re uncomfortable driving on the “wrong” (aka left) side of the road.

Who are Leanne and Lyle McCabe?

Lyle and Leanne are travel podcasters, but their favorite place to be is at their beachside unit on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. They downsized and moved to King’s Beach over seven years ago and just love this part of Australia. They say when they go away, they travel, and when they are at home they feel like they are on holiday every day.
