48 Hours in Noosa

A short, unfussy Noosa: the walk before breakfast, the long lunch, and the boat that no one else is on.

Two days

Noosa's Main Beach at sunrise, pale sand and gentle surf beneath a headland of native bush.

Chapter 01

Morning One

Arrive the night before. Walk the Noosa Headland trail at first light — twenty minutes will do — then breakfast at the small place two streets back from the beach. Swim before ten.

Chapter 02

Afternoon One

A private lunch on the water. The tender leaves from Noosaville and returns in the late afternoon. The rest of the day is deliberately unstructured.

Chapter 03

Morning Two

Drive inland to the hinterland — Maleny or Montville, whichever is quieter that week. Coffee and a bookshop, then back to the coast for a swim before the flight home.
