Nestled on the sandy banks of the Maroochy River, the seaside suburb of Cotton Tree is a watery wonderland worth chucking your togs on for. Wake up before the rest of the world with a sunrise SUP (that’s stand-up paddleboard for the uninitiated!) session along the river, watching the golden rays illuminate the water. As the day rolls on, go for a sail or kayak, or throw a line in to catch your dinner. Here you’ll likely snag ​​Bream, Flathead and Whiting - and trust us, nothing tastes better than a freshly caught fish.
