Noosa National Park Coastal Walk
Walk the spectacular Noosa National Park coastal track — one of Queensland's most loved walks — past headland lookouts, koala-filled forest, and secluded beaches accessible only on foot.
- 1
Noosa Heads Main Beach
Noosa Main Beach is the starting point — a north-facing beach protected from southeast swells that gives Noosa its year-round swimming and the calm conditions that made it Queensland's premier beach destination.

National Park Entry
The national park entry at the eastern end of Hastings Street leads immediately into eucalyptus forest — koalas are resident in the park and regularly spotted in the trees beside the walking track.
- 3
Boiling Pot Lookout
Boiling Pot is a rocky point where tidal currents swirl between the headland and offshore reefs — the foam and current give the lookout its name, and dolphins often ride the turbulent water below.
- 4
Hell's Gates Viewpoint
Hell's Gates is a narrow rocky passage where waves surge through a channel between cliff faces — the spray and power of the ocean through this gap is dramatic even in calm conditions.
- 5
Tea Tree Bay
Tea Tree Bay is a sheltered cove accessible only by foot — the clear water over the reef makes it ideal for snorkelling, and the surrounding national park vegetation creates a sense of complete wilderness.
- 6
Dolphin Point
Dolphin Point lives up to its name — a resident pod of bottlenose dolphins uses the waters around this headland year-round, and they are regularly observed surfing the waves from the clifftop track above.
