The Beach
Main beach is the most popular beach being well protected and reached from Hastings Street and from the car parks in Noosa Woods. Within Noosa National Park there are three beautiful beaches (no patrols) that can be reached along the coastal path. Tea Tree Bay is the nearest to the car park then Granite Bay and furthest along is Alexandria Bay which is a clothes optional beach.
Sunshine Beach lies to the south of Noosa Heads and is a very exposed beach with magnificent sands and can be reached using Sun Bus service 1 from Noosa Parade Interchange. It is a dangerous beach as exposed to the Pacific Ocean and swimming must strictly be done between the flags, as at all beaches!
Further down the coast is Peregian Beach with a collection of shops and cafés and Marcus Beach both beaches on Sun Bus route 1. The North Shore Beach extends for 40 miles and reached by 4Wd vehicles but too dangerous for swimming.
Noosa offers great surfing with its north facing beach, five right hand points and tropical backdrop of the protected National Park. If you are beginner try Little Cove or the Main Beach next to the rockwall. For long boarders First Point is the nearest to Hastings Street. Surfing from the National Park is very popular with experienced surfers and after a storm offers a long surf ride. A short walk along the coastal path is Tea Tree Bay, again popular with local surfers.
For the very experienced Sunshine Beach offers exposed surfing on long beaches, but can be very dangerous for inexperienced surfers.
