The J

Swim between the flags in the protected waters of Noosa Main Beach then join the locals for a drink at the surf club, or cool down with a gourmet, locally made ice cream.

Shop at boutiques specialising in high-end international fashion labels or find affordable beachwear, edgy designs, footwear or local creations. Browse for holiday reading in bookshops, try on original... and locally designed jewellery and accessories, or wander through commercial galleries. Order a glass of wine or an espresso and find a seat at one of the open-air cafes and restaurants that line Hastings Street.

Follow the boardwalk from Noosa Main Beach into Noosa National Park. Along the way look out across Laguna Bay for dolphins and whales, or spot a koala in the trees. The National Park has many popular bays... and surfing spots, not to mention walking paths for a short stroll or a longer hike.
