A Noosa influencer’s lunchtime visit to Peregian Beach Hotel has sparked a hilarious theory about where all the men are hiding on the Sunshine Coast.
If you’re single on the Sunshine Coast and wondering where all the men have gone, one local woman might have cracked the case.
Instagram creator Paige Carmichael shared her observations about where to find men around Noosa after a visit to Peregian Beach Hotel.

Hastings Street? Too many families, she says. Sunshine Beach? Too many retirees.
But Peregian Beach Hotel? Apparently, that’s where the action is.
Paige explained that she and Steve go out for lunch together once a fortnight, but this time she’d let him choose the venue. His pick this week was the beachside pub, and she admitted she didn’t have high hopes.
“I have never seen so many men in one spot, condensed in like that.”
In the comments, she estimated there were around 50–60 men at the venue, including what looked like a mix of tradies and office workers, possibly enjoying their lunch breaks.
Paige said she’d never thought to visit the pub before because it sits on a roundabout. “Men must love roundabouts,” she joked.
And the discovery has struck a chord with local women.
One commenter praised Paige for “doing God’s work”, while another took the roundabout theory further, joking that men enjoy going in circles.
The food also received a tick of approval, with Paige describing it as decent and reasonably priced.
Her advice to anyone looking for somebody?
“So if you’re looking for somebody, then you might want to pop into Peregian Beach Hotel.”
The pub responds

Kylie from Peregian Beach Hotel told YELO: “It’s so good! My DM’s have been going off! I laughed at this story she posted later too. Look out we might be extra busy between 12 & 2 today! I better staff up 😂.”
And could the unexpected attention inspire a singles night?
“We haven’t hosted our own singles night, but we have had the odd organised booking for social singles nights. You never know could be something for us consider in 2027!”
The venue was equally enthusiastic about the roundabout theory.
“I think it’s true, men love roundabouts! Our location is perfect for people watching plus our lineup of cold beers and a lovely Cass Deller mural for that perfect selfie/profile pic background and you can’t go wrong.”
And Steve, whose lunch pick started the whole thing, might be in for a reward. “I think we might owe Steve a beer!”
Whether any of the mystery men were actually single remains unanswered.
But if you’re tired of swiping, perhaps a pub lunch and some live music wouldn’t be the worst place to start.
