Nestled between Coolum and Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach is a hidden gem where sandy feet and salty hair define the lifestyle. Melanie Rosettenstein discovers that this laid-back coastal haven also boasts a charming village square, offering an abundance of delightful dining, shopping, wellness and professional services, all with unparalleled good vibes.

Yearning for simple times where carefree children play and joyful dogs scamper about while you relax and indulge in a beautiful meal? Looking for a place where nostalgic tunes hang on the sea breeze while you stroll the shops and enjoy good, old-fashioned service? Peregian Beach is the only coastal town in the region that offers a true village experience; where locals and visitors can connect over a coffee in a dog-friendly cafè, enjoy the many events that take place on the lush green or watch their kids navigate the skate park – a short stroll from a stunning beach.
