Suburb Spotlight: Moffat Beach

A Hidden Gem on the Sunshine Coast

Tucked away along the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, Moffat Beach is one of those coastal pockets that locals love and savvy buyers are starting to notice.

With its laid-back atmosphere, strong sense of community, and prime beachside location, Moffat Beach delivers the best of coastal living, minus the tourist crowds of some of the bigger beach hubs.

As a Sunshine Coast buyer’s agent, I’ve walked these streets countless times, helping clients secure their dream homes in this tightly held suburb. And it’s easy to see why so many buyers are falling in love with Moffat Beach.

The Moffat Beach Lifestyle

Moffat Beach combines natural beauty with an authentic, village-style atmosphere that’s hard to find elsewhere on the Sunshine Coast. The beach itself is stunning, a beautiful curved bay with rocky headlands and excellent surf conditions, making it a favourite for swimmers, surfers, and locals who just love being by the water.

The area is also known for its vibrant café and dining scene, perfect for lazy weekend brunches or grabbing coffee after your morning walk. Some of the local favourites include Pocket Espresso, Ours Cafe, and Moffat Beach Brewing Co., offering everything from artisan coffee to beachfront dining.

This is a suburb where everything is within easy reach - beach, cafes, coastal walks - and the whole community feels connected by their shared love for the area.
