Lucio's Marina Sunshine Coast

Lucio’s Marina sits at 3/2 Parkyn Ct. It holds one hat from the 2024 Australian Good Food Guide, a distinction that sets the standard for its seafood-forward Mediterranean and Italian menu.

The room runs smart, feeling more considered than the typical casual fish-and-chip shops that define much of the Sunshine Coast waterfront. While the ten-minute walk from Noosa Marina puts it within reach of the tourist circuit, the kitchen ignores the easy shortcuts expected of a seaside spot. You go here for the discipline of the cooking rather than the convenience of the location, as the precision of the seafood preparation justifies the detour away from the busier riverbanks.
