Sun, Sand, and Smiles.
Meet the Beach Enthusiast behind the Website
Welcome to The Sand Castle Chronicles, a website dedicated to all things
sunny on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia! I'm Lora, your guide and fellow beach enthusiast. As a devoted mum of
three boys and a military spouse, my heart was captured by this slice of
paradise. Now, I'm thrilled to share my insider
knowledge with fellow beach lovers and adventure seekers.

As a seasoned globe-trotter, I've learned that there's no place like the Sunshine Coast. From its pristine beaches and quaint towns to its vibrant culture and amazing hikes, this region has it all. My family is now lucky enough to call this coastal wonderland home, and I would love nothing more than to show you around.
Join me on a journey through this sun-kissed heaven and discover for yourself the hidden gems that make it truly unique. Whether you're looking for the best surf spots, the most delicious seafood, or just a place to kick back and soak up some rays, I've got you covered.
My passion for travel and photography bring my journey to life. Instead of all of the photos staying in my phone and only telling tales of adventures at dinner parties, I thought a website would be the perfect place to capture it all. Writing is a big part of who I am too! Currently, I'm putting together an Insider's Guide to the Sunshine Coast book. Exciting stuff – so stay tuned!
So why Sand Castle Chronicles, you ask? Well, what better way to capture the essence of this beautiful region than with a nod to its sandy shores and the timeless joy of building sand castles? It's a little cheesy, I know, but hey, I'm originally from Canada - I've got a thing for puns!

So step into our sanctuary, seize a towel, and let's explore the Sunshine Coast together. Whether you're a local or a first-time visitor, I promise you'll find something here to love.
