F AV O U R I T E N O O S A B E A C H That's a hard one because all of the Noosa beaches are great for different reasons; but I would have to say Tea Tree Bay in the Noosa National Park is at the top of my list. F AV O U R I T E F I S H I N G S P O T The Frying Pan at the Noosa River is great for catching whiting or flathead. F AV O U R I T E C O F F E E P L A C E Little Cove Coffee Co was my old stomping ground prior to Masterchef and it's still a favourite of mine. F AV O U R I T E R E S TA U R A N T Wood Fire Grill in Noosa keep it simple and make it tasty; they don't pretend to be anything else. Killer spot for a Sunday lunch with the family! F AV O U R I T E B A R Locale on Hastings Street is one of the very few places in town where you can comfortably spend all night in the bar, sharing snacks and pizzas with solid cocktails. F AV O U R I T E T H I N G A B O U T N O O S A Noosa’s positioning and its close proximity to the hinterland and the coast makes it an incredible place for anyone who enjoys the outdoor lifestyle. You can start the day with climbing Mt Cooroora in Pomona and by midmorning you're rinsing off at Main Beach.
