Things to do in Noosa

To chat face-to-face to a local about all the best things to see and do in Noosa, step into a Visitor Information Centre. 

Spend a morning taking a beachside yoga class, then shop in a street packed with stylish boutiques, all before lunch is served up by one of Australia’s best chefs. Or you can immerse yourself in the creativity of the locals, showcased in the unique shops and markets of the surrounding towns. 

Centred around the buzzing hive of food and fashion that is Hastings Street, this sophisticated coastal town is everything a holidaymaker could dream of and more. The beaches speckled along the coastline of Noosa National Park are waiting for you. In between dips in the ocean and stand up paddle-boarding expeditions, spread out your towel, slap on a hat and open the pages of your latest novel. Or bring your board: Noosa was named the 10th World Surfing Reserve in 2019. Famed for its laid-back surfing culture, it's also home of the Noosa Festival of Surfing WSL Longboard Open each February.

After a change of scenery? The Noosa Hinterland is the sleepy countryside region calling your name. Pop into local favourite Eumundi Markets every Saturday and Wednesday morning for the local produce and treasures of the region. 

You’ll also discover the Noosa Everglades, one of only two everglades systems in the world. Here, you can marvel off the side of your canoe or tour boat at the reflections of the banksias, tea trees, melaleucas and waterlilies at sunrise. If there’s ever somewhere to find your balance, this is it.
