Noosa Heads QLD
Doggy Beach
Flat water, shifting sandbanks, and dogs doing their best. This off-leash beach off Claude Batten Drive is the low-key Noosa spot locals reach for when they want calm water and a relaxed crowd. Arrive early; the car park fills before you'd expect.

Main Beach Groyne
Walk to the far end of Main Beach and you hit the groyne, a rocky breakwater that earns its reputation as one of the quieter sunset spots in Noosa. Lifesavers on site, easy access, and a view that the main beach strip cannot match.

Noosa Main Beach
North-facing and naturally sheltered, Noosa Main Beach stays calm enough for young swimmers well out from shore. The boardwalk connects directly to Hastings Street's cafes, lifeguards are on duty, and the surf club anchors the western end. Parking is the one thing that will test your patience.

Noosa River Groyne
Where the Noosa River meets the ocean, this sand spit is the local's answer to the main beach crowds. Calm inlet swimming, wide ocean views, and a quiet that Hastings Street simply cannot offer. Best at sunrise or dusk.

Coolum Beach
Stumers Creek Dog Offleash Area
At low tide, Stumers Creek opens into a wide, flat run of beach where dogs sprint into the shallows and the morning crowd is more calm than chaotic. Pet wash stations, clean bathrooms, good parking. The evening vibe is quieter than you'd expect, and better for it.

Sunshine Beach
Sunshine Beach Dog Off Leash Area - Beach Access #29 and North
Wide, exposed surf beach running north from Access #29 on Seaview Terrace, where dogs go properly off-leash into real ocean waves. The staircase is steep, the parking is tight, and the crowd of regulars is out early. Go before 6:30am to get the sand to yourselves.
