Straight out of the pages of a magazine, the sophisticated seaside villages that stretch from Coolum to Noosa are renowned for rolling surf and first-class restaurants.

Mingle with the who’s who of the food scene at the annual international food festival. Gather local gourmet goodies and crafts at the Peregian Markets and Noosa Farmer’s Market. Browse glamorous boutiques and people watch from a beachfront cafe or melt stress away with a spa treatment and stroll through Noosa National Park.

Spend the day on a boat or kayak the Noosa Everglades, a haven for birdwatchers and part of the UNESCO-accredited Noosa biosphere. Polish your clubs for a round on one of the country’s best-ranked resort golf courses. Walk, cycle or jog the coastal walkway or enjoy 360-degree hinterland and coastal views from the top of Mt Coolum.
