Explore Sunrise Beach, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Sunrise Beach, QLD map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sunrise Beach, Queensland, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Queensland or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Sunrise Beach and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Sunrise Beach.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Sunrise Beach, a bright stretch of Queensland coastline, presents a welcoming face to the Pacific, its sands a pale gold that deepens to honey as the sun begins its descent. It lies 30.4 km north of Buderim, QLD (from Buderim, QLD: bearing 6°T), and is situated 9.0 km east-south-east of Tewantin. The landscape here is a study in gentle transitions: the ocean, a vibrant turquoise close to shore, gradually deepens to an indigo vastness, its waves rolling in with a steady, hypnotic rhythm that has shaped the very character of this place. Behind the dunes, a tapestry of coastal heath and resilient scrub clings to the sandy terrain, interspersed with pockets of taller eucalypts whose bark peels like ancient parchment. The air itself carries a perpetual tang of salt and damp earth, a palpable presence that permeates everything, from the weathered paint on beachside homes to the very breath of the traveller.
The story of Sunrise Beach is one of quiet evolution, a far cry from the boisterous gold rushes or grand agricultural ventures that shaped other parts of the region. Its development has been intrinsically tied to the allure of its natural beauty, a slow unfolding rather than a sudden boom. The local economy thrives on the steady influx of visitors drawn to the surf and the serene coastal lifestyle, a gentle hum of tourism underpinning the community. While there are no grand historical landmarks dominating the skyline, the true heritage of Sunrise Beach lies in its untamed coastline, a place where the ancient patterns of tides and weather continue to hold sway, offering a timeless connection to the Australian littoral. This consistent, unhurried pace, dictated by the rise and fall of the sun and the ceaseless murmur of the sea, is the distinctive pulse of Sunrise Beach.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Sunrise Beach, Queensland. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Sunrise Beach, in the Noosa Shire local government area.

These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Sunrise Beach is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
