As summer approaches, the allure of your dream holiday grows ever closer. Picture yourself with sand beneath your feet and the warmth of the sun on your skin. With an abundance of activities waiting for you, it can be challenging to decide how to spend those long, golden days. Fortunately, we’ve curated a guide to the finest summer experiences in Noosa, drawn from many sun-drenched seasons spent on the Sunshine Coast.

A Stroll to Hells Gates

On a perfect summer day, there are few places more enchanting than Noosa National Park. The coastal track, framed by turquoise waters and lush rainforest, leads you on a journey to the breathtaking Hells Gates lookout. Begin your walk along the Noosa Main Beach boardwalk, following the scenic path for 4km until you reach Hells Gates, where you’ll be rewarded with expansive views over Alexandria Bay and the endless horizon. Be sure to bring water, and take the opportunity to cool off with a swim at Little Cove on your way back, as the summer sun tends to make an early appearance.

Chase the Setting Sun

Noosa’s sunsets are nothing short of spectacular, and capturing one is a must for any summer itinerary. While it’s true that the sunset casts its magic over all corners of Noosa, some locations provide an especially enchanting vantage point:

  • Mount Tinbeerwah
  • Laguna Lookout
  • Noosa River
  • Noosa Spit
  • Noosa Main Beach

From the 360-degree panorama atop Mount Tinbeerwah to the soft glow illuminating the shores of Noosa Main Beach, each spot offers its own unique charm. No matter where you choose, the fading daylight promises to leave you in awe.

Explore the Waters

To truly immerse yourself in Noosa’s natural beauty, why not venture on to the water itself? Whether your preference is a serene dolphin or whale-watching cruise or the thrill of a high-speed boat ride, an excursion with Noosa Ocean Rider is an essential summer experience. There’s something about the open sea that adds an unforgettable dimension to your holiday.

Wine & Dine by the Water

A Noosa summer isn’t truly complete without a stunning dinner by the water. As the light fades and the sun makes way for the moon and the stars, there’s no better place to soak it all in than one of Noosa’s many waterfront dining options. Simply take a stroll down Hastings Street and choose from an abundance of beautiful options, or for those looking to step away from the hustle and bustle for a night, explore some our favourites including Ricky’sLucio’s Marina and Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar
