Experience the wonderful Maroochy River, one of the Sunshine Coast's premier recreation areas - the Aboriginal word 'Maroochy' means 'Place of Black Swans' which features highly in Aboriginal legend.

The river and its many estuaries offer many diverse areas for fishing, sight seeing, observing nature, having a picnic or just relaxing in your own patch of beauty.

The river is well known as a popular fishing ground with bream, whiting and flathead being the main catch. Tailor, mullet, mangrove jack and black bream (luderick) are also caught in the winter months, and jew are caught in the area around the Cod Hole. You can obtain tackle and a full range of live, fresh and frozen bait for your fishing needs from our shop.

Discover the unique environment of the river system which is navigable up beyond Dunethin Rock picnic area (approximately 20km from the river mouth). Pack a picnic lunch or pick up snacks and drinks from our shop and cruise the river or enjoy lunch at one of the hotels or restaurants where there are safe moorings.
