The stairs are the price of admission. Beach Access Point 26 on Seaview Terrace drops you down a flight of steps to one of the quieter entry points along Sunshine Beach, with views opening up on the descent that make the climb back worthwhile. Most people find it because they're walking the 5.5km trail through Noosa National Park and need a logical start or finish point. It works well for that. Dogs are welcome, the beach is right there, and the national park trails connect directly. Parking on the adjacent street is limited and tight, so arriving early or calling a rideshare back to Noosa is the move most regulars make. Not a destination on its own, but a genuinely useful access point that rewards those who know it's here.
Contact the business for opening hours.
A beautiful spot and easy to access both the beach and nearby trails. You need to be prepared to walk down some stairs to get there. The adjacent street has some parking but is tight.
Great spot if you can find parking!
Fantastic option to get to / from the walk thru Noosa National Park (5.5km). Called a ride share to get back to Noosa

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.

Noosaville QLD
A giant grinning pelican on the Noosa River foreshore, standing watch since the 1990s. The surrounding park, riverside walk, and Pelican Boat Hire's 60-year-old hire fleet make this stretch of Gympie Terrace one of Noosaville's most reliably good afternoons.

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.
Lovely walk to beach. Lots of steps but get a good view
Fantastic place! Dog friendly!
Tewantin QLD
A solid MTB network out in Tentin with trails for all levels and terrain that holds up in most conditions. Weekdays are reliably quiet. The signage is patchy, so download a trail map before you go. No bins, no toilets — pack everything in, pack everything out.
