National Parks
The Sunshine Coast is blessed with some of Australia's favourite National Parks. Our favourites are listed below!
Nestled on the doorstep of the famous tourist town of Noosa, this popular park features some of South East Queensland's most picturesque scenery.
Discover secluded beaches, rugged coastal features and views from the iconic headland at Noosa Heads. Spot dolphins frolicking in the ocean at Boiling Pot and Dolphin Point, and be thrilled as thunderous waves crash into the rocks below Hell's Gates.
Wind through lush rainforest, fragrant open woodlands and heathlands exploring 15 kilometres of walking tracks. Walk along clifftops boasting unforgettable coastal views before leaving your footprints on pristine sandy beaches.
Many of the tracks start and end at Noosa Headland day-use area. With its peaceful shaded areas and ocean backdrop, this is a wonderful spot to enjoy a picnic or barbecue with family and friends.
Venture to Peregian and Emu Mountain sections and encounter coastal lowlands extending south towards Coolum Beach. Meander through paperbark swamps, she-oak forests and heath, brimming with vivid wildflowers in winter and spring. Walk to the summit of Emu Mountain for panoramic views of the coast.
Keep your eyes peeled for a diverse range of wildlife that live in the park, from sleepy koalas perched on branches to glossy black-cockatoos squawking overhead.

The 11 gorgeous peaks of the Glass House Mountains are found in the hinterland of Queensland's Sunshine Coast. They are about a one-hour drive south of the Sunshine Coast's main hub, Noosa, or an hour north of the state's capital city, Brisbane. A natural playground of walking tracks, horse trails and abseiling locations, the mountains are also home to six small townships, linked by rail and country roads.

A steep but short walk. Moderate level of fitness required. Lots of steps up to the top - should take about 25 minutes to reach the summit. Well worth it with views across the whole coastline and greater region.

One for those wanting a fitness challenge! A demanding walk or jog to the top but epic views from the summit. Cool down afterwards in nearby Pomona town.

Shopping
From boutique shopping strips to a world class mall - Sunshine Coast has the shoppers covered!
Hastings Street is the heart of Noosa Heads, loved for its wonderful mix of beachside luxury and laidback holiday vibes. Resorts, cafes, restaurants, bars and boutiques sit beside gift shops, surf stores, day spas and galleries.
Hastings Street buzzes from coffee carts at sunrise to Champagne brunches, long lunches, sunset cocktails and fairy-lit strolls along the boardwalk to dinner.
Voted the Best Main Street in Australia! Low-rise and bordered by Noosa Main Beach, the Noosa River, Noosa National Park and the Noosa Spit parkland – you'll agree!
