Good beaches, lots of sunshine, good hinterland

Very busy on weekends and holiday times
In a nutshell
Great spot for watersports and general tourism
ettiewyn Says: Well, I won't lie about it: I really disliked Noosa Heads' main beach. It is probably the Australian beach I liked the least. However, it was not really the beach's fault - it is basically a very fine beach, with perfectly blue water, a beautiful shape/curve, good sand, and...
ettiewyn Says: Hastings Street is the posh centre of Noosa. It is located in Noosa Heads, parallel to the main beach. You find many, many cafés and restaurants here, as well as a lot of fancy shops and boutiques. It is not really a place for budget travellers - but on the other hand, you...
ettiewyn Says: Sunshine Beach is a very nice beach in the district of the same name. It is a very long beach which is a bit rugged. I was here at about noon, and there were not many people. This is also Noosa's beach with the highest waves. It is very natural and stormy and I just liked it...
ettiewyn Says: Noosa National Park is what really made this town special to me. It is located right next to the district of Sunshine Beach and can be reached easily by foot from there, or by car or bus from the other districts of the town, within a few minutes. It includes an area of 4000...
ettiewyn Says: Alexandria Bay is located in the east of the National Park. It is a wonderfully long and wide bay. While my guide book said that it is popular with surfers, nobody was here when I did my walk - but maybe I was just too early!As it was such a cloudy and cool day, the beach...
ettiewyn Says: If you have visited Alexandria Bay and then continue south on track No. 4 you get some wonderful views of the bay. You have to walk besides the big rocks and as this was such a stormy day and the waves were so big and the sea so roaring, I felt almost a little uneasy walking...
ettiewyn Says: If you continue on track No 4, you will get to a lookout where you have a great view of Sunshine Beach - the beach itself and the district of the same name. Again I must say that this would look so much better on a sunny day, but still, I liked it. For me, it is always an...
ettiewyn Says: Fraser Island is of course a highlight you should not miss if travelling to Queensland!!! Most tours start from Hervey Bay, but you can also go from Noosa. The tour busses go to Rainbow Beach, meet other passengers there and then take the ferry to the island.Fraser Island is...
Meet the Koalas in the National Park
al2401 Says: "Noosa National Park features spectacular coastal scenery and provides an important refuge for native wildlife including the koala, glossy black cockatoo, ground parrot and wallum froglet."This is how the Department of Environment and Resource Management of the Queensland...
balhannah Says: Lake MacDonald is Noosa's water supply, and because of this, only non powered Boats are allowed on the water. We saw lots of Canoeist's, I imagine it would be quite good fun exploring this big lake.If you read the Notice board by the Boat Ramp, you will see that there is a...
stevemt Says: This is a Queensland Government National park that is open to the public.Noosa National Park features spectacular coastal scenery and provides an important refuge for native wildlife including the koala, glossy black cockatoo, ground parrot and wallum froglet, along with...
aukahkay Says: The Big Pineapple located north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast is a tropical fruit plantation with acres of pineapple and other tropical fruits. The highlight of the Big Pineapple is a ride on the Sugar Cane Train which takes you through the pineapple plantation and the...

Bistro C: Lunch on Noosa Beach Front
pedroswift Says: Lunch on Noosa Beach FrontRecently enjoyed lunch at this fabulously located establishment on the beach front off Hastings Street Noosa.The restaurant offers a number of menus tied into your time of arrival: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacking, dinner at night.We occupied a...
pedroswift Says: Noosa is all about the beach and a feature of the place is the beach front restaurants. Season is one of them.We had lunch there recently on a fine warm winter's day. Our table was just a few metres from the board walk between the beach and the restaurant.The Lunch menu...
ettiewyn Says: Noosa lies on the main east coast route from Cairns to Brisbane (and further south to Sydney). I came here from Mackay and as I was not that much interested in the places in-between these towns, I decided to take the bus during the night - it does not really matter to me as...
The cheapest bus from Brisbane - Suncoast Pacific
backpackerbaby Says: Suncoast Pacific offers the cheapest fare between Brisbane and Sunshine Coast. You can get a return ticket for AUD18. Internet booking is available. There were less than 10 people on the coach to Noosa Heads and 20 on the way back. It's a comfy ride.
ettiewyn Says: When I visited Noosa, I had not heard of the assaults that sometimes happen in the National Park, and I walked here for hours all on my own, hardly meeting any other people. Nothing happened to me, but after reading some reports about incidents in the park, I feel that I was...
SmilingTraveller Says: While not really off the beaten path, as you will see them on-route from Brisbane to Noosa along the Bruce Highway, not everyone stops to take in the beauty of them.The Glasshouse Mountains are a series of steep-sided plugs formed from hardened lava dominating the Sunshine...
ettiewyn Says: What I especially liked in Noosa National Park- apart from the rugged landscape and the great beaches - were the plants. There were a lot of beautiful and interesting wildflowers in bright colours, and also a lot of trees. Some trees looked very bizarre as the coastal winds...
ettiewyn Says: Always leave something for the next visit! These are the things I didn't do in Noosa so far and that I want to do when going back: Noosa Everglades - I missed the so-called "Noosa Everglades" that consist of several lakes and a part of the Great Sandy National Park. There...

It's scary and sad. It was 40 years ago when I first visited Noosa. One of my most vivid memories was surfing at Ti Tree Bay lit by a golden sunset in 5 foot waves totally glassed-off with just a...

Wonderful Location For A Holiday
We were in Noosa for the last week of winter and on the last day went for a walk along the beachfront. As on previous days the sun shone, hundreds of people were on the beach and in the water. What a...

Noosa is an interesting place. I met a guy from Brisbane on the plane and he strongly objected about my plan to stay in Noosa for the first two nights. "It's just for tourists.... just the expensive...
