A Family Weekend in Eumundi: Ultimate 3-Day Itinerary

When it comes to family-friendly weekends that have it all, it doesn’t get much better than the Sunshine Coast—and more specifically, the quaint and charming heritage township of Eumundi. Perfectly positioned between country and coast, this slice of nature paradise boasts easy access to world-class beaches, scenic parklands, exciting attractions, awesome eats, and so much more. Relaxation, adventure, and family fun here you come… it’s your ultimate Eumundi weekend itinerary!

Friday Night: Settle in & Unwind

Kick off your weekend with a relaxed meal at The Imperial Hotel, an iconic Eumundi landmark since 1911. Enjoy classic pub-style eats including all the kids’ favourites, plus vibey live music, and an outdoor beer garden popular all year round. 

After dinner, grab a picnic rug and settle in for a magical evening under the stars at Starry Nights Outdoor Movies. This charming outdoor cinema screens classic and family-friendly films at various locations around the Sunshine Coast, like Terella Brewing at North Arm. Pack some snacks and enjoy an easy start to your weekend away. 

Saturday: Market Magic & Family Fun

Start your Saturday morning at the famous Eumundi Markets. Open every Wednesday and Saturday morning, this vibrant marketplace is packed with handcrafted treasures, artisan food, live entertainment, and activities for all ages. Let the kids get their faces painted, sample fresh local delicacies, and enjoy the joyful atmosphere.

Located right next to the markets, Dick Caplick Park is the perfect spot for kids to burn off all that extra post-treat energy. Harmoniously designed within its surrounds, this fantastic playground features climbing structures, slides, and swings under the shade of giant fig trees. Parents, grab a coffee from a nearby café while the little ones play, easy!

When they are all played out, head to The Ginger Factory in nearby Yandina for an afternoon of interactive fun. Take the Ginger Train ride, explore the Overboard Boat Ride, take a factory tour, or simply wander through the lush gardens. Kids will love meeting the resident bees at the Live Bee Show, while mum and dad can stock up on locally made ginger treats, honey, plants, and flowers.

Sunday: Coastal Bliss & Nature Exploration

No Sunshine Coast weekend getaway is complete without some beach time! Take a short drive to iconic Noosa Main Beach, one of Australia’s most beautiful and family-friendly stretches of coastline. The gentle waves are usually calm and safe for kids to splash around in while parents relax on the sand.

After a morning dip, grab lunch with a knockout view at the Noosa Heads Surf Club. Overlooking the stunning coastline, this laid-back venue serves up all the usual crowd-pleasers, then you can finish off with a delicious scoop from nearby Messina Gelateria. 

Before heading home, take a scenic bushwalk through Eumundi Conservation Park. With easy walking tracks suited for all ages, it’s the ideal way to soak in the beauty of the hinterland. Keep an eye out for native wildlife, from wallabies to kookaburras, and enjoy your final few hours immersed in unspoilt nature.
