Take a dip in Noosa National Park’s Little Cove, Tea Tree Bay and discover the Noosa Fairy Pools
Little Cove, located 5 minutes along a beautifully built boardwalk that winds its way under eucalyptus trees, is a little gem that is popular with both locals and visitors. It is a 100-metre sandy beach surrounded by the greenery of Noosa National Park with clear, calm water to entice you.
Take a breath of pure sea air and enjoy spectacular ocean views along Noosa National Park’s Coastal Walk. Wind your way through the park’s trails set amongst scenic rainforest and open eucalypts to discover Tea Tree Bay, Granite Bay and Alexandria Bays.
After only a 20-minute walk along the Coastal Walk you will encounter Tea Tree Bay. Just like most of these sandy stretches, it is unpatrolled, remote and can be unsafe for swimming. Tea Tree Bay is a stunning cove surrounded by shady pandanus trees, large flat rocks and golden sand.
Set between the stunning Granite Bay boulders and Hells Gate are the sparkling blue Fairy Pools. These unpatrolled rock pools can be unpredictable with tides and swells, so be cautious when swimming.
Noosa North Shore
Experience the freedom of a beach drive to Double Island Point (contact Queensland Parks and Wildlife Services for vehicle access and camping permits), pack a picnic or go on a horseback ride.
Cross the Noosa River via car ferry at Tewantin (a unique experience in itself) to discover miles of unspoiled beaches surrounded by pristine landscapes, ancient sand dunes and sparkling blue ocean.
For the adventurous, book into an Equathon Horse Riding Adventure to enjoy the thrill of a private beach ride on horseback. Tours depart from Teewah Beach and accommodate riders of all skill levels.
Hastings Street
A magical experience, unique to Noosa, is iconic Hastings Street. Wander the fashion precinct under trees lit up by hundreds of fairy lights to soak up the warm and festive atmosphere.
Hastings Street is packed with culinary experiences that will make your holiday one to remember. Head to one of the great bars for sunset cocktails, or if you’re visiting on a weekday how about $3 oysters and spritzers at Miss Moneypenny’s or choose from their fabulous and extensive cocktail menu.
