Walk / Hike
Noosa Shire and it’s surrounds have very magnificent walks and hikes! Here I give some suggestions of places I love!
This walk is a must in Noosa. Along the water, part of it is paved and part is dirt, but it is a very well looked after track like everything in Noosa.
I recommend to start the walk from the Main Beach. There is a carpark right at the entrance of National Park that you will have 3.7% of chance to find a spot.
On this walk there is the Fairy Pool! It’s hidden! When you see a black rope on your left hand side you have to go down the rocks to get there. After Hell’s Gate if you keep walking you will get on Alexandria Bay, beach that you see from Hells Gate. This walk from the Main Beach is approximately 7km return.

Nice pub to have a beer and some food. BUT the best is Noosa River, the footpath along the water and the beautiful sunsets! Gympie Terrace, the road along the river, is full of cafes, restaurants and shops!
There are several free electric barbecues along the footpath!
Here is one of Noosa’s postcard scenes.

Shopping Centre
The closest supermarket from our place is here. There is a sushi place in the supermarket that I like. Just be careful not to get lost in there. Too many escalators.
