TAKE THE KIDS Queensland
family friendly Noosa
It’s easy to see why Noosa, with its kilometres of golden beaches and family-friendly vibe, is one of the top holiday destinations in Australia.
Family friendly it may be but Noosa still offers plenty of opportunity for quiet contemplation.
From water sports including jet skiing, surfing and kayaking on the unspoilt Lake Cooroibah to on-land sports like mountain biking, skating and horse riding, Noosa and its surrounds offer it all. If you can tear the kids away from the beach for long enough then there’s also the zoo and the Aussie World Theme Park to explore.
The town of Noosa is a chilled-out beachside spot. Its main drag, Hastings Street, offers al fresco cafes, independent boutiques and an eclectic mix of restaurants and bars.
After a swim in the calm waters off Noosa Main Beach, grab a picnic and either cycle or walk along the boardwalk to Noosa National Park, keeping an eye out for whales, dolphins and koalas along the way.
Don’t miss out on exploring the Noosa North Shore, a seemingly endless stretch of white sand, towering dunes and sparkling ocean, backed by tropical rainforest. You can hop aboard the ferry from Tewantin to get there.
Noosa is also the gateway to Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island and a place of unrivalled natural beauty. It’s the ideal place for kids to roam thanks to its lack of cars. It’s possible to take a ferry to Fraser from Rainbow Beach or Riverheads.
With so much to inspire both adults and kids, you’re guaranteed relaxation as well as action in this idyllic part of Queensland.
