Facts about the Sunshine Coast

More than half a century ago in 1959, the first tourist set foot on a Sunshine Coast beach. He was a citizen of the then Czechoslovakia and was from Ostrava.

Between the sea and the nearby mountain gorge, air currents are created that are unique to this area. This phenomenon is called the "rose of the winds" and is scientifically proven to have a beneficial effect on the human body.

The Sunshine Coast remains one of the few places on the Black Sea where sand dunes form naturally. More than 16 species of rare plants thrive in these dunes.
