Day Trips
For a fantastic day trip, take the Noosa Car Ferry and follow the bitumen all the way to the coastline and access the beach via the cuttings. Driving on the beach is best suited to within 3 hours either side of low tide. |
Once on the beach you can travel North for a bit over an hour all the way to Double Island point. Plan a brief stay or make a full day out of it. Have a picnic lunch on the beach or visit nearby Rainbow Beach and the many eaterys this quaint town has to offer. Either return home down the beach or travel back via Gympie along the bitumen road, making it a great round trip. |
