Noosa Tourist Information

Located at the northern end of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Noosa is renowned for its sundrenched beaches, powder white sand and a water temperature that invites year round swimming. And when combined with stylish, low-level architecture nestled against a lush, green hinterland, Noosa is the perfect setting for an unforgettable holiday experience. The rare natural beauty of Noosa and its surrounds has been recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as an official Biosphere Reserve. The listing confirms Noosa’s commitment to protecting and treasuring the area’s outstanding environmental values. Located on the protected shores of Laguna Bay, Hastings Street is a relaxed, pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare. Low-rise and leafy, it is a popular place with visitors who flock to the resort accommodation, cosmopolitan cafes, designer shops and alfresco dining along the length of this wide, paved street. Visit Noosa National Park where you are almost guaranteed to spot a koala relaxing in a gum tree or locate a vantage point where you may very well spot whales between July and November. Noosa’s Main Beach is one of the only north facing beaches on the east coast of Australia which makes it a great spot for families and those learning to surf, as the conditions are generally calm and inviting. The pristine Noosa River extends through a series of lakes up to the Noosa Everglades and is best experienced by canoe, kayak or river cruise. Take in the stunning views from one of Noosa’s many mountain-top lookouts or discover native fish, vegetation and bird populations on the calm waters of Noosa’s lakes, parks and gardens.
