Noosa Heads sits at the northern end of Queensland's Sunshine Coast, wrapped by Laguna Bay, the Noosa River and Noosa National Park.

On the southern side of the national park headland, about five minutes' drive from Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach is a village around Duke Street with cafés, bars and surf shops. It marks the start of around 15 km of open surf beach, and a coastal track leads around the headland to Noosa Heads in about two and a half hours.
Getting around Noosa Heads
Sunshine Coast Airport at Maroochydore is about 30 minutes' drive south, with direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Auckland; taxis, Uber, transfers and Translink public buses run from the terminal to Noosa. From Brisbane Airport, allow about an hour and a half by road via the Bruce Highway, using a pre-booked transfer or coach. Queensland Rail's Travel Train stops at Nambour and Cooroy, where buses connect to Noosa.
Locally, Translink buses link Hastings Street, Noosa Junction, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach, Tewantin and the hinterland towns. The Noosa Ferry runs along the river every 45 minutes between Tewantin and Hastings Street, with seven stops, and a network of bike paths connects the area. Parking around Hastings Street is scarce and time-limited, so leave the car where you are staying if you can.
Living in Noosa Heads for longer
For a big shop, Noosa Civic Shopping Centre is on the Translink bus network, and Noosaville's delis are good for picnic supplies. The Noosa Farmers Market runs every Sunday, and Noosaville's industrial estate has local design showrooms, breweries and distilleries. Taxi ranks are at Hastings Street and Noosa Junction, and Uber operates locally, though cars are harder to find late at night and in peak holidays.
Swim between the red and yellow flags on Main Beach; the water south of the groyne is usually calmer than to the north, where waves and rips are larger. If you are moving to the Sunshine Coast, see our guide to serviced apartments for relocation.
When to visit Noosa Heads
Noosa has a subtropical climate. Summer daytime highs average around 28–29°C, while winter days stay mild at about 21–22°C, with cooler nights. February and March are the wettest months, and late winter into early spring is the driest stretch. Humpback whales pass the coast from June to October, and peak holiday periods are the busiest times.
The Noosa Food & Wine festival takes over Noosa Woods and the town's restaurants each June, with the 2027 edition set for 17–20 June.
Noosa Heads, Noosaville and Tewantin form one continuous town, with Sunshine Beach just over the headland. Brisbane is about an hour and a half's drive south, and the coast continues through Noosaville and down to Mooloolaba.
