We hold 129 venues in Sunshine Coast — 106 places to eat and 23 to stay. That makes it the 10th-largest of the 1280 towns and suburbs we cover in Queensland, carrying 1% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 35% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. Sunshine Coast is 5 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 37 cafés, 32 restaurants, 29 takeaways, 4 bars and 4 pubs.

64 of the 106 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (13), burger (8) and thai (6). Relative to the rest of the country Sunshine Coast is unusually strong on thai, kebab and mexican — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 9 publish opening hours (7%), 4 are recorded as step-free and 10 have outdoor seating. That trails the 17% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.

For a bed, Sunshine Coast runs to 23 listings — 8 hotels, 7 motels, 1 b&bs and guest houses, 1 hostels, 3 serviced apartments and 3 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 35% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Footscray (129), Liverpool (130), Burwood (127) and Armidale (136) — average 10% accommodation. Sunshine Coast runs at 18%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 129 venues in Sunshine Coast carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
