Noosa - your Sunshine Coast holiday paradise
The Sunshine Coast is located north of Brisbane and consists of many beautiful seaside resort towns, one of the most popular being Noosa - a fashionable resort situated on Laguna Bay at the mouth of the Noosa River. The resort buzzes with atmosphere on its sandy white beach, with boutique shopping and a wide variety of restaurants and cafes. The relaxed lifestyle, beautiful natural setting, the weather and safe year-round swimming make this a popular holiday destination.
The area is also known for the Noosa National Park where you can walk in the rainforest, swim on patrolled beaches and take a kayak or a boat cruise on the Noosa River. Visit the nearby Everglades, an eco system of dark tannin waterways that include clear lakes, golden beaches and sand dunes or drive into the Hinterland for a cooler climate and small friendly villages offering local arts & craft.
Located just off the coast is the World Heritage listed Fraser Island - the largest sand island in the world. The island has over 40 fresh water dune lakes colored blue, red or yellow due to their mineral content and sand dunes reaching 240m in height. Frazer Island is the only place in the world where the rainforest is growing on the sand. You can access Fraser Island by a short boat cruise from River Heads or you can take a flight across to the island from Hervey Bay.
