The steps are the thing. Steep, wooden, and enough of them to make you reconsider the esky, Beach Access 29 drops down through a strip of coastal rainforest to a stretch of Sunshine Beach that sits noticeably quieter than the main drag. Reviewers are split on what they find at the bottom: one calls the sand terrible, another finds the whole thing wonderful. What they agree on is the relative solitude. The small car park fills, but the beach below rarely does. Worth knowing before you load up the pram: this one is not stroller territory. Go light, go early, and let the canopy walk earn the swim.
Contact the business for opening hours.
We accessed the beach. 🤣 It’s a little gnarly - steep steps, but ok.
A wonderful beach ⛱️ that was not busy, with a beautiful walk through the rainforest, easy access.
Beautiful and away from crowds but very hard to go down all those steps with kids

Noosa Heads QLD
The tide surges into hollowed granite below and churns like something boiling. Just 300 metres from the Noosa National Park entrance, fully paved and accessible, with dolphins, surfers, and Laguna Bay spread out beneath you. Park near Hastings Street if you're visiting on a weekend.

Noosa Heads QLD
Squeaky white sand, clear water, and a ten-minute walk from the Noosa main beach crowds. Tea Tree Bay sits inside Noosa National Park on Track 4, protected enough for easy swimming, quiet enough to actually hear the waves. Parking is limited, so arrive early or walk from town.

Autumn is the best time to surf Noosa, and the region handles every level from first-timer to seasoned longboarder. First Point is world-famous for good reason, but the real picture is more layered: beach breaks at Sunshine Beach, honest swells at Coolum, and protected bays for beginners. Here is what you actually need to know before you paddle out.
Noosa has a reputation for being expensive, and parts of it are. But the national park is free, the best beaches cost nothing but the walk down, and there are hostels, cafes, and caravan parks that let you do this place properly without the Hastings Street bill. Here is how to spend less and miss nothing.
Autumn in Noosa is genuinely good for families. The water stays warm, the crowds thin, and the flat riverfront paths are pushchair-friendly for kilometres. From calm swimming spots and kid-friendly cafes to holiday parks a ferry ride from the tourist strip, here is the local edit on where to take the kids and how to keep everyone fed.
Every tourist town has two maps. The brochure version and the one locals keep to themselves. Noosa's second map runs through Noosaville backstreets, steep coastal staircases, and a Sunrise Beach café that has no interest in being discovered. Here is where to find it.
Three days is the right amount of time in Noosa. Enough to hike to Alexandria Bay at sunrise, eat pork belly at Bistro C, find the quieter stretch of Sunshine Beach, and still have an evening at Aqua Day Spa. This itinerary moves through Noosa Heads, Noosaville, and Sunshine Beach with specific times, specific plates, and no filler.
Small parking lot but great view
Great access, terrible sand.
Noosa Heads QLD
The circular lookout at the top of Viewland Drive frames Noosa Heads, Lake Cooroibah, and the ranges beyond Cooroy in a single sweep. Arrive early for sunset; the small carpark fills fast and the view is worth the margin.
