Noosa Heads & Hastings Street

Low-rise and leafy, the coastal town of Noosa Heads is popular with visitors from around Australia and overseas. Surrounded by the calm waters of Laguna Bay, Noosa National Park and the tranquil Noosa River, it’s no surprise that Noosa Heads has long been a favourite holiday destination. 

At the heart of Noosa Heads is Hastings Street, a relaxed, pedestrian-friendly, beachside thoroughfare that is a haven for visitors who flock to the resort accommodation, cosmopolitan cafes, designer shops and alfresco dining.
