Spend the day exploring the Noosa National Park. This park offers gorgeous coastal views and is a short distance from the town centre. The Noosa National Park has a mix of lush rainforest, secluded beaches, open woodlands, rugged coast and thriving wildlife. There are plenty of trails to walk inland and explore the rainforest or hikes that look out over the jagged coastline. One of the most notable walks is the Coastal Walk, which is approximately 4 hours total and guides you to plenty of picturesque spots to swim and sunbake. Remember to stop and look up; you might see sleepy koalas in the treetops. While there are plenty of stunning views and things to do within the National Park, one spot in particular is worth visiting. A walk to Dolphin Point might reward you with seeing playful dolphins swimming.
