Why it's worth checking out
Sand Dunes Resort sits on the Mudjimba Esplanade at Marcoola, a relaxed beachside town on the Sunshine Coast. A well-regarded beachside resort, it offers comfortable, self-contained accommodation right by the beach — the kind of relaxed, well-located base, with the sand and surf on the doorstep, that suits a family holiday or a coastal getaway.
The appeal is that combination of comfortable, apartment-style accommodation, resort facilities and a beautiful absolute-beachfront Marcoola location, ideal for a family holiday, a relaxing escape or a beachside getaway. With the beach right there and the Sunshine Coast's attractions close by, its blend of comfort, space and setting makes it a popular choice.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its guests. Room types, rates, facilities and availability vary with the season, and a popular beachfront resort books out over holidays and peak periods, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly well ahead — particularly if you're travelling at a busy time or want a specific accommodation type for your stay at Marcoola.
