With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear Laguna Bay and stunning national parks it’s no wonder that Noosa has become a sought-after destination for those seeking an escape to paradise.
If you’re a water enthusiast, Noosa offers a myriad of fun water activities in some of the most spectacular natural settings.
We dive into six must-do water activities, including surfing, beach hire, eFoil, Nauticycle, kayaking and SUP Hire.
1. Surfing
Living in our coastal paradise, surfing is a part of life for many locals.
Crystal-clear Laguna Bay creates the perfect surfing environment, protected by Noosa National Park Headland and the warm, moderate swells.
It’s the ideal spot for both seasoned surfers and those just beginning. Professional surf lessons offer an exciting way for families to create fun and lasting memories with the thrill of catching the perfect wave and riding it to the shore.
Qualified surf schools provide all necessary equipment and expertise. Lessons are held in water no higher than your waist and all you need to do is show up in your swimsuit ready to catch a wave.
In 2020 Noosa was honoured with the prestigious title of the 10th World Surfing Reserve, this recognition not only highlights Noosa’s passion for surfing but also showcases commitment to sustainability and conservation.
