De-stress and unwindin in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast
If the Sunshine Coast is one of Queensland's coastal treasure troves, then Noosa, on the northern end of the Sunshine Coast is where you will strike it rich. Noosa has it all. Luxury and sophistication combine with a laid back beach lifestyle in a natural setting that leaves nothing to be desired.
Everybody enjoys a holiday on the bustling Gold Coast of Queensland, but after awhile, you may begin to long for a beach resort that moves at a slower, more tropical pace. Someone tells you about a place less than 2 hours away that has all the luxuries you could ask for, but lacks only the crowds of the Gold Coast. You decide to check it out. If you're like most first time visitors to Noosa, you will stay longer than you intended to. You won't be able to help yourself.
Your first day in Noosa might be spent on Hastings Street in Noosa Heads. Hastings Street is the beachside shopping and dining street in Noosa. It's the perfect place to go for a lunch or cappuccino in a beachside cafe. After a refreshing meal, you will be ready to do some serious shopping in the upscale Hastings Street boutiques, galleries and gift shops.
The following day is a good day to get outside and get some exercise. This is easily done in Noosa. Noosa and Noosa Heads are divided by the beautiful Noosa National Park. The trail through the park is an easy and pleasant one. The tall trees will provide you with shade as you make your way along the wide, well groomed track. If you want to, though, you can take a detour and bask in the sun and take a dip in the azure waters in one of the sheltered coves along the way.
You will still have all afternoon to continue to get to know Noosa and environs. Nearby Noosaville is nestled next to the Noosa River and is a great place to explore. Relax and enjoy the scenery as you take a river tour aboard a river boat or houseboat and spend some time at beautiful Pelican Beach.
If adventure is more to your liking, then there is plenty of that in and around Noosa as well. If you're a surfer, you probably already know about the classic point breaks in Noosa National Park, but you may not know about the secret spots up around Cooloola National Park. If you're not a surfer (or even if you are), you might want to explore the region by camel back. What a great way to see the sights!
If you're looking for highrises and mega-developments, then Noosa may disappoint you. If you're looking for luxurious boutique hotels, resorts and spas, though, then you will absolutely love it. Even the inexpensive backpackers lodges in Noosa are a cut above the rest. When you stay in Noosa, your Noosa accommodation will be something special, no matter what your budget is or preferences are. Next time you visit Queensland, do something different and stop in at Noosa. You'll love it.
