Sunshine Beach
An east-facing surf beach southeast of Noosa Headland, with bigger waves than the main beach and a very local café-town atmosphere.
Sunshine Beach lies southeast of Noosa Headland, about a 5-minute drive away. It is a long sandy beach facing east over the Pacific. Its waves are bigger than those at the main beach, making it a favorite of local surfers, and it has lifeguard patrols. A trail from the north end of the beach leads into Noosa National Park to Alexandria Bay. In the town center above the beach there are many popular breakfast spots, cafés and surf lifesaving club restaurants, with a more relaxed and local feel than Hastings Street.
