Things to do around Noosa On Foot

Well where do I start.......well here will do.....


As I said this is by no means a comprehensive list of things, but if you do all, or some of these things, I reckon you'll have a great time.


NOOSA AREA
Noosa for the visitors is really based around Hastings St, which runs parallel to one the best protected North facing Bays in Queensland or even Australia, called Laguna Bay. It is a family friendly beach, which is very safe (well 90% of the time), but does boast one of the great Longboard Waves in World when the planets align...


If you are staying in Hastings St as many of you would, you are perfectly positioned.
Using your feet prepare to walk Hasting St and beyond.........

Hastings St and Aroma's Cafe

Walk or Sit on the Boardwalk Look for the beach and there it is.....easy eh, this might just be the best place in Noosa on a good day, you just can't beat it. But if you want to get off your bums......


Walk to the National Park (to your right as you look at the Beach)
It's about 1 km to the start of the park then you have a choice of many walks up to 7km.
Stunning Coastal walks or through the Semi Rainforest.
At least walk to Tea Tree Bay about 7-8 mins from the start of the National Park, past the Boiling Pot Lookout, this would be my favourite bay and beach.....the kids love it too, great surf also.
Best times to walk are early before the heat of the day, and also around sunset and see the sun setting in the west, but watch out the sun goes down quickly it seems.

Walk the Other End of Hastings St (to your left as you face the Beach)
Walk past where the shops end into Noosa Woods. You can either walk along the river side or along the beach, past the Groyne to the Rivermouth (about a 20 min return trip). The Beach past the Groyne is often less crowded than "Main Beach" and there is Learn to Surf Lessons there too.


Walk up to the Noosa Lookout from the right end of Hastings St. About a 10 min Walk up for great views of Noosa, and about 3 mins coming down if you run quickly !

Hey Bill's Shaved Ice on the Beach

After your Walk
You'll want a good coffee, food or both.
Well too many good options here to list them all but here's a few to start....


Coffee you can't beat Aroma's, midway along Hastings St with the Chairs that face the street, great coffee, snacks, and staff. The Early Morning Coffee Cart at Le Monde opposite the Surf Club great also and great food all day too. Also as you arrive back into Hastings St you will see the first restaurant right on the Beach Sails, which is a wonderful restaurant, but they also serve Coffee in the morning only, coffee and a muffin with the best views !
Ice Cream, you must visit Massimo's at the right hand end of Hastings St (looking at the beach)
Boost Juice near Aromas for great Juices
Snacky type things....Subway, Kebabs and the like head into Bay Village (Midway along Hastings Non Beach Side)
Bistro C, great for Breakfasts through Dinner, and one of the few restaurants with true beachfront, next to Berardo's on the Beach with great views on the Boardwalk.
The Surf Club has Great Views and good meals for the whole family, bustling atmosphere.
Season's a great resturant with less hustle, great food more mid priced though.


A great place to watch the sun go down is a little bar at the 'back' of the Sheraton, good wine list, cocktails, it looks up the river. You might even see the Local Gondolier man taking off for an evening jaunt, which by the way is a great way to cruise around the Noosa Riverways, worth the treat.
