Sunshine Beach
Ed Webb Park
Perched above Sunshine Beach with Norfolk pines and open ocean views, Ed Webb Park is the kind of spot locals don't advertise. Sunrise is the move. Bring coffee from somewhere nearby and take your time.

Noosa Heads QLD
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 Heads QLD
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 Heads QLD
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.

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.

Tewantin QLD
Tewantin National Park
A short but steep trail off the old Tewantin-Noosa highway leads to a 360-degree lookout spanning Noosa to Teewah Beach. Go early, bring a picnic, and take the first viewpoint as a warm-up. The summit is worth the sweat.
