Keeta Visits Cotton Tree: Sunshine Coast Property Highlights

A Glimpse into the Wonderful Lifestyle and Property Opportunities in Cotton Tree, Sunshine Coast

Overview

Located where the Maroochy River meets the ocean, Cotton Tree on the Sunshine Coast offers a unique blend of calm river waters perfect for paddling and the surf of Maroochydore Beach just a short walk away. This combination makes it a favourite for families, retirees, lifestyle seekers, and anyone who loves coastal living. There's even a gentle river inlet near the main beach, ideal for safe swimming, especially for young children (though it’s important to be mindful of the current).
