SURF, SUNSHINE + SAND

NOOSA. The beauty of the natural environment, the laidback lifestyle, the waves and stunning beaches – it’s simply one of Australia’s most iconic surf towns and proudly, the world’s 10th World Surfing Reserve. The region is home to a number of stunning beaches and the river mouth leads visitors up a saltwater river to the Noosa Everglades, a mystical place that’s home to more than 44 percent of Australia’s bird species and is one of only two Everglades in the world.

Sink your toes in the sand at Noosa’s beaches – in calm waves at Main Beach, at the eastern beaches from Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach, across to Noosa North Shore and beyond.

NOOSA MAIN BEACH

One of the few beaches along Australia’s east coast that faces north, making it a calm bay for safe swimming and surfing, Noosa Main Beach is famous for its sheltered water protected by the Noosa National Park Headland. This is your go-to beach for swimming between the red and yellow flags and is perfect for families!

About 10 kilometres south of Sunshine Beach down the coast road is Peregian, another patrolled surf beach loved by locals. There is also a great kids playground and skate park right near the beach.
