Noosa Beaches
are some of Queensland’s best, so head for the following
great destinations for a dip in the ocean.
Coolum Beach
Situated between Noosa Heads and Maroochydore, Coolum Beach
is popular with surfers. The beach is patrolled here, so look
for the flags and swim between them. This growing resort town
has several good dining options.
Noosa Main Beach
Noosa’s main beach, set on Laguna Bay, is the idyllic
family beach where generally calm seas and gentle swells make
for good swimming. Around towards the headland are a series
of surfing points that attract surfers of all grades. The beach
is patrolled. Alexandria Bay, accessible only by walking trails
through Noosa National Park, is clothes optional. The beach
is not patrolled and swimming is not recommended.
Peregian Beach
Peregian Beach, set beside the quiet little beach town of
the same name, offers good surfing conditions and is patrolled.
The beachside park is popular with families and hosts a monthly
market. Nearby shops have several good cafes.
Sunrise Beach
The next beach south of Sunshine Beach, Sunrise has similar
surf conditions. Just south is Marcus and then Castaways Beach.
These beaches are not patrolled, so swimming is not advised.
Sunshine Beach
Noosa’s most popular surf beach, Sunshine Beach, has
superb beach breaks when the conditions are right. The rocky
headland provides protection from north winds. Currents here
can be strong, so swim between the flags and heed all warnings.
