Mount Tinbeerwah Lookout
Tinbeerh QLD · Activities & Tours
(565 reviews)
The honey scent from flowering bushes hits you before the view does. A 400-metre walk from the carpark, mostly paved with stretches of flat granite boulders, puts you above the entire Noosa hinterland in under 15 minutes. From the top, the Glass House Mountains anchor one horizon while the Sunshine Coast stretches out to the other. Weekends bring abseilers working the cliff edges, which adds a certain energy to an otherwise quiet summit. Come at sunrise or sunset when the light does the heavy lifting. Parking is limited and shade is scarce, so bring water and a hat. The cliff edges are largely unfenced, worth knowing if you have children in tow. March flies are a genuine nuisance in warmer months, so plan accordingly.

What People Say
Great lookout, 3km bitumen road in from the main road to the carpark, then an easy (if reasonable fit) 400m walk on a well-defined track to the lookout. Near the top there are abseilers doing their thing on the weekends. From the lookout you have an expansive view of Noosa and surrounds, even on a cloudy day. Sadly, we had to shorten our time there after being attacked by march flies. This lookout would be best experienced near sunrise or sunset. There are toilet facilities near the carpark. I recommend you come and check it out for yourself!
Easy 10-15 walk up from the parking lot. Even on a rainy windy day the views don’t disappoint. A sunny sunset up here would be lovely!
A good walk up the hill to the look out - about 10-15 min. Partly rock face and steps along a lovely stone paved path, so it is a comfortable, safe climb. If you have children you would need to watch them as they could wonder off the path to the edges. Beautiful and interesting plants, flowers and views to see on the way up. We noticed the sweet, honey smell of the flowered bushes as we climbed. The views were worth the climb. Quiet spectacular even on a cloudy, hazy day. It would be great if they had an information sign about the hills and places you were viewing. This would have added to the experience. The information board they had at the bottom was great to identify the flowers and such. We didn't see any of the fauna though. I would definitely come back again.
Easy to get to the top . And nice view If u want to get a good view for the sunset or stay chill that’s the one. 15 minute to the top of the mountain.
Mount Tinbeerwah Lookout is a must-visit for big Sunshine Coast views without a long hike. It is wheelchair access for the first 260 metres, then gets a bit steeper for the remaining 740 metres. The short, easy track is mostly paved but also takes you across large, flattish boulders that give it a natural, adventurous feel while still being manageable for most ages. There is a small bench seat at about the 600 metre mark, so that you can rest before making the slightly easier track to the Lookout platform. From the lookout platform, you’ll get a stunning 360° panorama – lush hinterland rolling out to the Glass House Mountains in one direction and sparkling coastline in the other. It’s especially magical at sunrise or sunset when the colours light up the whole landscape. Parking is limited and there’s little shade, so bring water and a hat, but for such a small effort, the payoff is huge. There are also anchor points for those that wish to repel over the cliff edges. As always, if you take children, make sure you keep an eye on them at all times. A lot of the cliff edges are un-fenced.
More Activities & Tours in Noosa

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.

Noosa Regional Gallery
Tentin QLD
A glow room, shadow puppets, and a rotating program of contemporary art that takes itself seriously without losing the kids. Noosa Regional Gallery punches above its size, especially during NAIDOC weekends when Kabi Kabi cultural experiences come to the forecourt.

Victory Park
Peregian Beach
A five-kilometre beach walk to Stumers Creek starts here, with on-lead dogs to the left and off-lead to the right. The park itself is beside the point. Sunrise from the sand is the real reason locals set an early alarm.

Paradise Caves
Noo Heads QLD
A sea cave formation in Noosa National Park that earns its views. The descent is steep, spray-soaked, and genuinely challenging at high tide. Limestone pools, dramatic cliff faces, and zero crowds if you time it right. Proper footwear is non-negotiable.
