Top Ten Instagram images

The Sunshine Coast is renowned for its spectacular coastline and lush Hinterland and those were the images that filled this year’s Top 10 posts on Instagram.

From the beach to the bush – and back again – the favourite spots included Mooloolaba, Coolum and Kawana beach and the Glass House Mountains, as viewed through an airplane window and on a misty morning.

Coolum proved a scenic location with three appearances in the Top 10. But number one was a bit of a surprise.

“Our Top 10 is filled with beautiful images that really showcase the appeal of the Sunshine Coast,” said Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Matt Stoeckel.

“However, it was a winding coastal boardwalk with overhanging pandanus and an ocean outlook that absolutely captured the hearts of our Instagram followers,” he said.

“@tomomi_aus_life took the number one photo that attracted over 2600 likes. I think everyone who saw it probably imagined themselves walking that path, with a beach towel over their shoulder, ready to relax and unwind with a dip in the crystal blue waters.

“It certainly makes me want to head to Dicky Beach!” Mr Stoeckel said.

This is what a few of our followers had to say:

“Beautiful photo, you make me want to go there, too. Greetings from Sri Lanka.” – Travel.berger

“Been there last week and it’s fantastic.” – grabthatrideaustralia

“Woah!!” – Elephantintheboardroom

“My exact favourite spot to sit & have a coffee.” – heidiadams4
