💡 Tips

Avoid the parking hassle in Noosa Heads by taking the Noosa Ferry from the Noosa Marina in Tewantin.
Tewantin is the gateway to the Noosa North Shore; if you want to visit, you'll need to take the car ferry across the river.
The main street has retained much of its historical charm and is more laid-back than nearby Hastings Street.
Drive or hike up Mount Tinbeerwah in the nearby National Park for a spectacular 360-degree sunset view over the coast.
