What to do and see in Noosa, Queensland: The Best Nature & Parks
Noosa is a world-famous surfing destination, known for its expansive beaches and colorful bays. Hike across Noosa National Park's cliffs and forests, canoe through the Noosa River Everglades, kayak across the open sea or just bask in the sunshine on golden sand that stretches and sparkles for miles. A day trip to nearby Fraser Island, a World Heritage Site where lush rainforests mingle with dry sand dunes, is a unique experience not to be missed.

While visiting Noosa twice last year in January and June I did a lot of bushwalking through their pristine National Park. We have quite a few National Parks here in NSW but none of them compare to this stunning treasure. They were updating the walkways into the National Park when I was there in June last year, but I personally found their walkways were well maintained when I was there previously in January 2018. There is wheel chair access for the disabled and also well paved walking track for families with young children with prams and also the elderly. The best part of this pristine National Park walk are the beaches you come across on your way up which are Tea Tree Bay, Granite Bay and further into the National Park (depends on your fitness level) is the beautiful Alexandria Bay. And before you venture into this beautiful National Park make sure you stop into the Kiosk located at the information centre within the National Park, they make the best coffee ???? I have tasted in Noosa. Seriously a great pick me up for your long walk up into this pristine treasure. Absolutely loved it.

Beautiful lake, like a hidden treasure. We stayed in Peregian Beach, at Lake Weyba Noosa Lodge. Lots of kangaroos, cockatoos while taking a walk to Lake Weyba. Very shallow, clear, warm water; it feels like a big bathtub! Our accommodation provided a two-person canoe and two kayaks for free. There is a hidden creek, hard to describe, like a real-life wald-Disney experience, really serene and beautiful. What makes this also special that there are almost no other people because of minimal access. Highly recommend staying at the lodge and get back to nature.

With accommodation right next to the beach, some outstanding restaurants and shops on the adjacent Hastings Street, Noosa National Park next door and a fantastic sheltered surf beach in front of you, this has to be one of the most ideal places to come on a beach holiday.

Decided to visit this scenic lookout after visiting Cooroy. Definitely worth the side trip and the views are spectacular from the top. Approximately 400 metres from car park up a well maintained walk way.

Always make a beeline for the river with visitors. Loads to do, water activities, cafes galore, people watching, walking trails, picnic and bbq areas, take the ferry up and down to Hastings st and leave the car here much easier! I’m a local so I know! Enjoy
9. Everglades

An extremely pleasant way to spend the day apart from the rain... don’t sit at the front of the boat! Mostly young people who chose to canoe about 5 kms either up to our morning tea spot, from a wharf at the bottom of the river, or back to the same wharf. They don’t do both ways any longer as too many people don’t cope. We chose to not canoe at all and it gave us a bit more time to stroll through the lovely forest. Morning tea was on land under cover in the forest... tea or coffee made with hot water from thermos flasks, juice, cake and biscuits. Our lovely guide, Trevor, made sure to save some of the best chocolate covered cake for the group of canoeists who hadn’t quite arrived which I thought was a nice touch. The Everglades are beautiful. Silent gliding through black water with vegetation mirrored on both sides. The river was 20-30 meters wide and split into tributaries at some points. Easy to get lost, I would imagine, but all of our group made it up and back. Spotted 10 or so big fat pelicans relaxing on fallen logs at one stage. Trevor was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and also pointed out bird life and types of vegetation along the way. We returned across the big saltwater lake for a late lunch. Delicious roast pork (or a vegetarian option) served with spectacular crunchy crackling, roast pumpkin, coleslaw and plump juicy peas. We were impressed! There’s also a brewery on site so we had a very nice glass of lager and there was wine for the non beer drinkers. Altogether a lovely day out that we would thoroughly recommend.... even on a rainy day.

Love Little Cove beach. It's stunning, a little quieter than Noosa Main Beach during the busy times and has some nice gentle waves. Worth the little walk around - just don't drive during peak times.
