Dolphin Point lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This scenic headland viewpoint is known for frequent dolphin sightings as they cruise the coastline below. There are wide views across Laguna Bay and back toward Noosa Heads, with benches for resting and watching the ocean. The open, elevated vantage point makes it a popular spot for wildlife spotting, especially during whale migration season.

Granite Bay

Highlight • Beach

Very secluded and wide sandy bay on the coastal track, easy accessible from Noosa Head Main Beach. If the sea is rough the beach will be mostly rocky and stoney, but beacause of the bay the waters are often calm and almost flat.

Tip by

2.40 km

Fairy Pools

Highlight • Natural Monument

Rock crevices that are only washed over by sea waves. You have to climb a bit, but you experience warm seawater in a "pool" warmed by the sun on the dark rock, which is more or less washed over by seawater depending on the tide. A kind of "whirlpool" If available, you should bring a snorkel. There is really a lot to see here.

Hell's Gates

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hell’s Gates is an impressive coastal lookout where sheer cliffs drop to the ocean and waves surge through a narrow rocky gap. There are sweeping views north toward Alexandria Bay and south back along the rugged headland. The exposed, windswept setting is one of the most memorable vantage points on the Noosa coastline.

Devils Kitchen

Highlight • Gorge

Devils Kitchen is a narrow coastal gorge created by the collapse of a former sea cave, leaving a deep, open chasm in the headland. Sheer rock walls drop down to the ocean below, where waves surge and echo through the gap. The fenced viewpoint offers a direct view into the formation, perfect for an up-close perspective and a strong sense of the ocean's power and the rugged, eroded coastline.

Great view and a beautiful place to pause after a hike and let the energy of the place work its magic.

Coastal Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Coastal Walk follows the coastline through Noosa National Park, connecting headlands, beaches, and rocky bays along the way. The track is well-formed and easy to follow, with a mix of compacted path, boardwalks, and some uneven sections. There are plenty of beautiful ocean views the entire way, with regular access to lookouts and side tracks to beaches, making this an ideal way to spend the day enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
