Noosa Heads

Noosa Heads is one of those places everyone loves. No longer a quiet summer getaway, it attracts glamorous couples and sun-seeking families alike.

This northern Sunshine Coast community easily charms with its stunning coastline and laid-back village heart. Noosa Heads has a glitzy touch and fashion sense that appeals to the cool crowds. The lack of big resort hotels and the presence of a national park guarantees that Noosa’s best assets will always be accessible to everyone. Think picturesque bays and surf beaches, soaring cliffs, abundant wildlife and native forests.

Overlooking main beach at Noosa Head, Bistro C is the go-to restaurant whenever my wife and I are visiting Noosa. It's always got a fantastic vibe, the service is wonderful and view is to die for. The fresh seafood spaghetti (the pan for 2) is magnficent.

This is the perfect spot for a sunset in the Noosa area. Hike up or down from Noosa Main Beach and look for Koalas in the jungle (not likely). At the top is a pleasant spot to sit, maybe have a picnic, and watch the sky change colors. When we were there a pair of Kookaburras were sitting overhead in the gum tree. Neat! It's possible to drive up too.
