Noosa is the heart of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, a sophisticated and indulgent spot which ranks as one of Australia’s premier destinations.

Noosa Heads is home to the renowned Hastings Street, Main Beach and the main entrance to Noosa National Park.

On Hastings St, enjoy alfresco dining from Michelin rated chefs. Relax at the hands of an experienced masseur in luxury accommodation or simply lounge the day away at the beach. Whatever your penchant for a relaxing holiday, you’ll find it at Noosa.

Noosa Heads, set on the edge of Noosa National Park and Laguna Bay, is alive with international standard shops, restaurants and accommodation. The boutiques, cafes and restaurants of Hastings Street make for a stress-free cosmopolitan feel. With boardwalks and riverfront parklands extending to the river mouth Noosa Heads is a must-see for every visitor.

Make sure to explore the Noosa National Park and its several walking tracks. Wander through the walking tracks that wind through the heart of the forest where you’ll be encompassed with the beauty of the eucalyptus gum trees. And make sure to look up to the treetops occasionally, as koalas are often spotted climbing from branch to branch.

From Hastings Street, the centre of activity, visitors are only a short distance from the Noosa National Park, the Noosa River Everglades, Cooloola National Park and Fraser Island 4Wheel Driving can be organised.

Many of the activities that Noosa offers surround the water. Noosa’s Main Beach is a protected beach with gentle surf and a great spot for beginners to learn. But nearby Sunshine Beach offers more advanced surfers some great breaks. Then there’s the Noosa River that is popular for canoeing and kayaking and the numerous tour operators that offer scuba diving lessons/trips too.

Noosa is the name for a collective group of three areas surrounding the Noosa River: Noosa Junction, Noosaville and Noosa Heads. Noosa Heads is the most commonly referred to because it is home to the renowned Hastings Street and many well-known resorts.

Accommodation ranges from budget backpacker establishments, units and apartments to the Sheraton Noosa Resort. For stunning views of Main Beach, the river and across to the North Shore, take Viewlands Drive to Laguna Bay Lookout.
