TripAdvisor Travellers Choice 2011 Awards rated Noosa in the top three beaches in the South Pacific! Noosa, which hosts surfers from around the world at the annual Noosa Festival of Surfing, was named ahead of many other Australian coastal destinations.
“Noosa is a world-famous surfing destination, known for its expansive beaches and colourful bays,”
First Point has a perfect longboard break and on a medium sized swell it’s perfect for beginners. Further round the headland you will come across Tea Tree Bay and Granite Bay, a local favourite, these smaller beaches provide good surfing in the right conditions. If you continue around the headland, you will come across beautiful Alexandria Bay. This is a non patrolled beach and is one of the quieter sandy beaches in Noosa – a favourite of surfers and fisherman. Sunrise Beach, Castaways Beach and Marcus Beach are just minutes from Noosa. Sunrise Beach is patrolled on summer weekends and during peak school holiday seasons. Castaways Beach has easy access and is popular with local surfers.
