Racing is on the open water right in front of Mooloolaba Beach and on the Mooloolah River in the centre of town. Kids and adults can join in one or more of the sailing experiences, visit the local attractions, laze on the white sands of Mooloolaba Beach and enjoy an affordable, warm winter family holiday on the Sunshine Coast. 

The racing is easily from vantage points along Mooloolaba Beach and from The Wharf on Mooloolah River.
