NOOSA JUNCTION
Explore the wonderful new world of bars and laneways, restaurants, live music, coffee shops, boutiques, night markets, street art and galleries in the thriving Noosa Junction. Noosa Junction has more than 200 specialty shops plus all the essentials – supermarkets, chemists, post office, health services, banks and cinemas. You’ll find this buzzing little village just a short walk over Noosa Hill from Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach. The Junga (as locals call it) has become Noosa’s entertainment hub, with live music on the streets and The J Noosa hosting a year-round calendar of local and touring musicians, comedians, theatre and film festivals.

TAKE IN THE VIEWS
Between Noosa Main Beach and Noosa Junction you will find Noosa Hill. We recommend taking a detour via Viewland Drive to Laguna Lookout for stunning views of Laguna Bay, Main Beach, Noosa North Shore and the Noosa River as it winds from the sea entrance through the hinterland. This is the perfect spot to see Noosa from above and sunset is spectacular!
HIDDEN GEM
Check out the amazing giant street art and murals in the laneways and walls including Turkey Lane, Love Lane and Cactus Lane. Street eats, live music, markets and festivals are held around these spaces.

WHAT’S ON THE MENU?
Noosa Junction nourishes you with healthy goodness and cuisine from around the world – Mexican, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Indian, Middle Eastern, Malaysian and more. Restaurants, bars and cafés line the main street, Sunshine Beach Road, and nearby streets, arcades and laneways as fairy lights twinkle all around.
The Junction wakes to coffee aromas and juices blending – follow the trail from Puncheur Coffee Roasters to Canteen Cafe and Benchpresso, the café at Frank’s Gym for the early morning fitness devotees, with plenty of other options along the way. If you’re looking for something healthy and wholesome, try VanillaFood’s organic whole food, Larder & Baked’s house-made breakfasts and lunches, and the goodness of Jungle & Co, Australia’s first gut health bar. The Junction buzzes all day but really comes into its own as the sun goes down with great tastes, cool cocktails and fun vibes at bar/ restaurants such as Bombetta with pizza and pasta; the colourful, Mexican-inspired Paradise Arcade; Ze Pickle’s great burgers and cocktails; Telephone Call From with its hole-in-the-wall, international, pop-up street food; wood-fired pizza, cocktails and craft beers at Somedays Pizza; and long-time favourite Village Bicycle. Catch up at a bar before or after a show at The J or after catching the latest movie at the cinema.
There are also casual and cheery pubs and beer gardens, and decadent desserts from Fiona’s Fancies – far too many to list them all here, so take yourself on The Junction’s delicious food and bar trail.
There’s also fresh food and produce if you’re doing a cook-up or are heading out for a picnic, with specialty butchers, fruit market and fresh daily catches at the Noosa Junction Seafood Market.
