Beaches

First Point

Follow the Noosa shoreline for a treasure hunt like you’ve never seen before… your reward? A World Surfing Reserve recognised for its secluded bays, protected headlands, hidden coves and crystal clear blue water. All this is complemented by boutique shopping, amazing dining and beach village vibes you won’t be able to resist.

Noosa Main Beach

First stop is Noosa Main Beach, where the Noosa National Park headland paints a quintessential scene - a calm, protected bay, the perfect place to pitch an umbrella and spend your holiday lazing by the sea.

Hastings Street

Beyond the boardwalk is Hastings Street, where you’ll find an eclectic mix of boutiques, world-class dining, bars and galleries. Whether it’s a Champagne brunch, a long lunch or sunset cocktails, you won’t be able to get enough of Hastings Street’s cool beach vibes.

Park Road Boardwalk

From Hastings Street, take a stroll along the boardwalk towards the headland, where you’ll pass Little Cove beach on your way to Noosa National Park. If you’ve been dreaming of white sands and crystal blue water, here’s where you’ll find it!

Village Bicycle

When the sun sets over Noosa, head to the Junction where you’ll get a great sunset view and a taste of the local scene! Noosa Junction is a village brimming with laneways, street art, restaurants, night markets, galleries and sweet boutiques.

Sunshine Beach

A little further south, sandy beaches and rolling barrels stretch further than the eye can see! The eastern beaches of Noosa feature villages boasting their own coastal character and are also well known for their sensational surf conditions.

Sunshine Beach Surf Club

Sunshine Beach is the first of the beachside villages spotted along the eastern Noosa shoreline. If great dining, perfect surf breaks or seaside sunrises are your holiday vibe, you’ve found your treasure at Sunshine Beach!

Peregian Beach Square

Head south via Sunrise Beach, Castaways Beach and Marcus Beach - all well-known as low-key, locals' surfing hang-outs - to the laidback village of Peregian Beach. Think boutique shopping, eclectic cafes, restaurants, weekend markets and live music. This village is the final stop in your beachside Biosphere treasure hunt! So, when will you enter the Biosphere?
