Laguna Lookout
Noo Heads QLD · Activities & Tours
(998 reviews)
On a clear day, you can track the coastline all the way from Noosa Heads across Lake Cooroibah to the hinterland ranges behind Cooroy. This circular viewing platform at the top of Viewland Drive is the kind of place locals bring visitors when they want to show off the region without walking far. The 1.3km trail up from Hastings Street is worth knowing about, but most people drive. Parking is tight and capped at two hours, so arriving early matters, especially at sunset when the crowd thickens and people drag chairs onto the slope. Wheelchair accessible. No facilities, no entry fee. The trees surrounding the platform are old and substantial, which makes the clearing feel earned.

What People Say
It was an easily reach place to enjoy the sunset view. For drivers, there was limited supply of parking lots, so it was recommended to arrive earlier. The lookout was just a short distance from the parking area. Some people brought their own chairs but others just stood along the fence or sat on the slope. The view was excellent.
Good little lookout over Noosa. Either a 1.3km walk up from Hastings Street (main street of Noosa) or drive up and park right next to lookout. Not a big carpark, which has a 2hr parking limit. Nice view even on a cloudy day. Best experienced at sunrise or sunset.
Stunning lookout with views across Noosa Heads, Tewantin and the mountains back as far as Cooroy. Easy car park access and short walk to viewing platform with wheelchair access.
A great spot to view the township of Noosa Heads, Lake Cooroibah and the Noosa North Shore. A spectacular view on a clear day! Access off Noosa Dive to Viewland Drive! Limited parking and a little sketchy for long vehicles but there are few people there when you arrive and the view is spectacular!
Great views surrounded by lovley old big trees, you can walk here from Hastings st, and there's other tracks to the National Park area. Easy drive up with the car though 😊

Boiling Pot Lookout
Noo 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 Woods
Noo Heads QLD
Woodland paths, calm river beaches, and late-afternoon light that makes wedding photographers go weak at the knees. Dogs on leash are welcome, the ferry jetty is right there, and Hastings Street is a short walk away. Arrive early. Parking is a genuine fight.
Noosa Visitor Information Centre
Noo Heads QLD
Margo once called a sold-out K'gari tour back until a spot opened, then rang the visitor to tell them. The beach wheelchair loan programme gets people into the surf who thought that wasn't possible anymore. Staffed by volunteers who actually know Noosa. Start here.
Little Cove beach
Noo Heads QLD
Fifteen minutes along the Noosa boardwalk from Main Beach, Little Cove rewards the walk with calm, clear water and softer sand than Tea Tree Beach. Small, occasionally windy, and unpatrolled. The trade-off for skipping the crowds is a bit of legwork.
