Noosa Beaches, Australia
Beaches Guide: Beaches Introduction | East coast Guide | Great Barrier Reef islands | S & W coasts Photos and Information: Fraser Island | Cairns | Sydney | Melbourne | Great Ocean Road Adelaide | Cairns | Australia Wildlife | Australia Travel Guide | Map | Destinations | Australia Tours Noosa is a quietly affluent, low-rise town focused on water and loaded with excellent beaches and parks. Water comes in two forms, the salty stuff with consistent waves that makes Noosa a popular place to learn surfing and the freshwater stuff wiggling its way down to the sea via the Noosa River and a couple of creeks that has created a labyrinth of twisting waterways and a mecca for charming, hideously expensive waterfront properties. Clearly
a great place to live, Noosa is also a pretty terrific place to visit,
with around 300 days of sunshine a year, national parks all around,
consistently warm water, good surf and some of the best surf schools
in the country, direct access north to Rainbow Beach and Fraser Island
and Brisbane just an hour south and the Gold Coast just spitting distance
beyond that. Various
Noosas are scattered in the vicinity but Noosa Heads is where the
buses stop and as close to the action as you can get in the form of
Hastings Street, running beside Main Beach pictured above. Hastings
Street is the place to stay though there is very limited backpacker
accommodation available there so book well in advance. Alternatively,
just stay as near to Hastings as possible - Noosa Parade is loaded
with good places 15 minutes walk away. Noosa Pictures © Loader |
