Staying in Sunshine Beach accommodation opens up a world of exploration across Noosa’s stunning landscapes, lively neighbourhoods, and unspoiled beaches. From scenic walks and national parks to riverside dining and vibrant markets, there’s no shortage of things to do and see. Here’s a guide to the best ways to explore Noosa from your Sunshine Beach accommodation, including tips on how to get around from Noosa Beach Abodes!
Start your Noosa experience with a visit to Sunshine Beach itself, known for its beautiful waters, and relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of Main Beach. The Sunshine Beach Surf Club is a great spot to grab a bite or sip on a refreshing drink while taking in views of the ocean. You can easily explore Sunshine Beach on foot, as everything from cafes to the beach itself is accessible within a short walk from accommodation. With safe swimming areas and beautiful walking paths, Sunshine Beach is ideal for enjoying a peaceful day by the water.
Just a short drive from Sunshine Beach, Noosa National Park is one of Australia’s most popular national parks, famous for its diverse trails and breathtaking coastal views. The Coastal Track is a favourite, leading you past hidden beaches, and spectacular lookouts. To reach the park from Sunshine Beach, take a short bus ride or drive to the main entrance at Noosa Heads. Alternatively, if you’re up for a walk, the distance is around 25 minutes and offers a chance to explore more of the coastline. Parking at the park can be limited, especially during peak times, so walking or using public transport is recommended if you’d like to avoid searching for a spot.
A quick 10-minute drive or an easy bus ride away is Hastings Street in Noosa Heads, a bustling main street, packed with boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants. From fashion stores to gift shops, it’s the perfect place to find souvenirs. Dining options range from casual eateries to fine dining waterfront restaurants to explore. The Noosa Heads Free Bus is an ideal way to get from Sunshine Beach to Hastings Street. Running frequently during peak holiday times, the free bus service lets you skip the hassle of parking.
Just a quick drive or bus ride from Sunshine Beach, the Noosa Farmers Market is a must-visit for anyone who loves fresh produce and handmade goods. Open every Sunday morning at the Noosa AFL Grounds, the market is filled with stalls. Getting to the market from Sunshine Beach is about a 10 minute drive but there are also buses available that run past this route.
Sunshine Beach is renowned as one of Noosa’s top surfing spots. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, local surf schools offer lessons and equipment rentals. With Sunshine Beach’s great waves and less crowded conditions than Main Beach, it’s the ideal place to learn or practise your skills.
