Two lighthouses both quite historic (at least, in Queensland terms), that were designed to light up the passage to the North-West channel. There's a volunteer organisation that manages the lighthouse, and on occasion, you can pay $2 to go to the top.
Caloundra Lighthouses are a heritage-listed pair of lighthouses at 3 Canberra Terrace, near Arthur Street, Kings Beach, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. The first, known as the Old Caloundra Light, was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built in 1896; the second, New Caloundra Light, was built in 1968. They were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 5 February 2010.

The Sunshine Coast's local art gallery with several exhibitions, collections and programs. It can be a bit hard to spot though, as it's not very prominent on the street despite its good-looking building. There's 2-hour street parking just in front of the gallery, so parking should not pose an issue.
Great collection of aircraft and a place to learn more about aviation history, especially considering the nondescript location and good price. A real Boing 737 flights simulator is available, but a time slot needs to be booked in advance online.
The Sunshine Coast's primary sporting stadium with a capacity of 12,000 where many of the city's soccer and rugby games occur. It will also be one of the primary home grounds for the new Redcliffe Dolphins NRL team once they enter the NRL in 2023.
A family fun-park, dodgem cars and the like, located next to the Ettamogah Pub.
SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium
A fantastic aquarium located adjacent to the Wharf. Popular with tourists and local alike, you can catch the seal shows, swim with sharks, and learn more about the sea life that so amazes many city visitors. One of its exhibits includes the Ocean Tunnel, an 80-m oceanarium with three separate marine habitats.
