Noosa Heads & Hastings Street Walk

Walk the length of Noosa's famous Hastings Street — Australia's most stylish beach promenade — then explore the river and the string of villages that make Noosa a year-round lifestyle destination.

  1. 1

    Hastings Street Promenade

    Hastings Street is Australia's most famous beach strip — a pedestrian-friendly promenade of boutiques, restaurants, and cafés running parallel to the main beach, with a relaxed elegance unlike any other Queensland beach town.

  2. 2

    Noosa Farmers Market

    The Saturday farmers market at Noosa Heads is the social gathering of the week — the Sunshine Coast hinterland provides exceptional produce, and the market is the best expression of Noosa's food culture.

  3. 3

    Noosaville Riverside

    Noosaville on the river is Noosa's relaxed alter ego — restaurants with outdoor decks above the river, kayak hire, and the gentle pace of river life provide a complete contrast to the beach side of town.

  4. 4

    Gympie Terrace Restaurants

    Gympie Terrace in Noosaville is lined with the region's best restaurants — the evening scene here, with tables overlooking the river, is among the most convivial dining experiences on the Sunshine Coast.

  5. 5

    Tewantin Heritage Village

    Tewantin, a 15-minute drive inland, is the original settlement that predates the beach resort — the heritage village and Noosa Museum document the river-based community that the tourism town grew from.

  6. 6

    Noosa Junction

    Noosa Junction above Hastings Street is the local neighbourhood — independent cafés, grocery shops, and the cinema frequented by residents contrast with the tourist thoroughfare below, showing the real town beneath the resort.
