This fabulous walk follows the shoreline from the main park entrance at Noosa Heads to northern Sunshine Beach. It has amazing views and is the best walk in the area by far. A real treat!
The first few kilometers are wheel chair friendly but not after that.
The 'Coastal Track' passes over several headlands and provides many spectacular coastal views. Take extra care near cliff edges and keep children under close supervision. Walk along the beach at Alexandria Bay and rejoin the formed walking track at the southern end of the beach. There is a very steep set of stairs leading down to Sunshine Beach.
You can walk the Coastal track from Noosa to Sunshine Beach and catch a bus back. You’ll need to walk 1.2km further south along the beach to the bus stop outside the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club. Bus route 627 goes between Sunshine Beach and Noosa Main Beach so you can go either way and catch the bus back.
The park is home to vulnerable and endangered wildlife such as the glossy black-cockatoo, ground parrot, koala, red goshawk, wallum froglet, swamp orchid and Christmas bells.
Open woodlands with a heath understorey and low wallum heath cover most of the park. Hoop and kauri pines tower above small rainforest pockets growing on sand in sheltered sites away from the sea breezes.
There are toilets and some drinking water at the start and just before Dolphin Point, beyond that you need to carry your own water.
