Laguna Lookout
Noo Heads QLD · Activities & Tours
(998 reviews)
On a clear day, you can track the coastline all the way from Noosa Heads across Lake Cooroibah to the hinterland ranges behind Cooroy. This circular viewing platform at the top of Viewland Drive is the kind of place locals bring visitors when they want to show off the region without walking far. The 1.3km trail up from Hastings Street is worth knowing about, but most people drive. Parking is tight and capped at two hours, so arriving early matters, especially at sunset when the crowd thickens and people drag chairs onto the slope. Wheelchair accessible. No facilities, no entry fee. The trees surrounding the platform are old and substantial, which makes the clearing feel earned.

What People Say
It was an easily reach place to enjoy the sunset view. For drivers, there was limited supply of parking lots, so it was recommended to arrive earlier. The lookout was just a short distance from the parking area. Some people brought their own chairs but others just stood along the fence or sat on the slope. The view was excellent.
Good little lookout over Noosa. Either a 1.3km walk up from Hastings Street (main street of Noosa) or drive up and park right next to lookout. Not a big carpark, which has a 2hr parking limit. Nice view even on a cloudy day. Best experienced at sunrise or sunset.
Stunning lookout with views across Noosa Heads, Tewantin and the mountains back as far as Cooroy. Easy car park access and short walk to viewing platform with wheelchair access.
A great spot to view the township of Noosa Heads, Lake Cooroibah and the Noosa North Shore. A spectacular view on a clear day! Access off Noosa Dive to Viewland Drive! Limited parking and a little sketchy for long vehicles but there are few people there when you arrive and the view is spectacular!
Great views surrounded by lovley old big trees, you can walk here from Hastings st, and there's other tracks to the National Park area. Easy drive up with the car though 😊
More Activities & Tours in Noosa
The Big Pelican
Nooville QLD
A giant grinning pelican on the Noosa River foreshore, standing watch since the 1990s. The surrounding park, riverside walk, and Pelican Boat Hire's 60-year-old hire fleet make this stretch of Gympie Terrace one of Noosaville's most reliably good afternoons.
Aqua Park Coolum
Coolum Beach
A floating inflatable obstacle course on the Sunshine Coast that's harder than it looks and cheaper than you'd expect. Timed sessions at $30 per person, deep water, plenty of life guards, and shaded BBQ spots for whoever's watching from shore.
Little Cove beach
Noo Heads QLD
Fifteen minutes along the Noosa boardwalk from Main Beach, Little Cove rewards the walk with calm, clear water and softer sand than Tea Tree Beach. Small, occasionally windy, and unpatrolled. The trade-off for skipping the crowds is a bit of legwork.
Granite Bay beach access
Noo Heads QLD
A 15-minute walk from Noosa National Park's entrance earns you a beach covered in smooth granite boulders, reliable solitude, and the occasional dolphin sighting. The coastal views back along the headland are worth the detour alone. Bring a board if the swell cooperates.
