Guide to the Coast with Hayden Hack
Musician Hayden Hack takes us on a guide to the coastline — from eats to art and epic nature to explore during Horizon.
Horizon is scattered all over the Sunshine Coast, and this year, we have a few exciting events happening right on the water’s edge (close to). Just to name a few: Jarjum Life Museum, REMIX Academy: Reimagining Regional, Local Contemporary Art Prize, Yauar Warai Wandi – Sing, Dance, Gather and a whole bunch more on Ocean Street.
To help you discover the best of the coast, we asked Hayden Hack – a musician and member of the Band of Legends behind Eddie Ray – Lack of Judgement Day. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Hayden now calls the Sunshine Coast home. After a year-long journey around Australia, he and his wife knew this was the perfect place to settle and raise their family.
So, where does Hayden go for an epic feed, find creative inspiration, and his favourite walk?
Here’s his ultimate list:
Alley Cat Coolum
Great vibe, live music and delicious food.
Peregian Beach Hotel
Also live music and great food.
Light Years
The miso corn. Every time.
Nguyen Brothers
Pho. Pho. Pho. They even have vegan pho.
Noosa Regional Gallery
Always showcasing great art.
Cool Art Gallery
Run by legends. Great framing service, great art.
LANTANA Space
One of the only ARI (artist run initiatives) spaces on the coast.
Noosa National Park
I wish that this walk extended the entirety of the Sunshine Coast. Imagine a nature walk along the coast from Noosa to Caloundra!
Stay tuned for more insights as we count down to Horizon 2025!
