Maroochydore Road is a 9.8 km, 4 lane state controlled road on the Sunshine Coast that connects Maroochydore with the Bruce Highway, the region's main connection to Brisbane, Queensland's state capital. Maroochydore Road begins at the intersection of Beach Road and Horton Parade (state route 6) in the Maroochydore CBD and travels west providing an interchange with the Sunshine Motorway (state route 70) and through the town of Kuluin.
