One thing about Noosa, is that it’s an amazing place to watch the sunset.
Being honest, wherever you happen to be when the sky starts turning pink and purple in Noosa, you’re going to be in awe. Coming out of the shops, driving up Noosa Parade, looking out of your window…it’s always fabulous.
But, we’ve listed a few of our fave sunset spots below, to make your experience even more magical.
- Noosa Spit
This is by far our fave place to watch the sunset. It’s on a beach, the vibe is good, the view is good…you really can’t go wrong. And, because it’s at the bottom of Hastings Street, you can grab a takeaway, an ice cream or a Yo-Chi and enjoy while you watch the sky turn pink.
We love to bring burgers from either Betty’s or Grill’d and spend an hour or two here. There are always plenty of other people here at sunset time. There’s usually music coming from the camper vans and even people practicing diablo tricks and sometimes even fire dancing!
This deffo isn’t a place to be missed!
- Laguna Lookout
If you prefer a little less going on, Laguna Lookout might be for you.
This one is right at the top of a big hill…but don’t worry, you can drive all the way there!
It does get pretty busy up here and it’s relatively small so do plan ahead, especially if you are planning on driving and parking there.
You can watch the sun set over the river mouth, water ways and all the way out the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. There is a lookout platform and also plenty of ledges and rocks to settle down on as you watch.
- Noosa River
Really, you can’t go wrong anywhere along the river. It’s always going to be a great view. One of the best places to watch it is Gympie Terrace.
You can watch from the riverbank with a fish and chips or a Pearl’s or even head in to The Boat House and watch from their first floor cocktail bar. Keep an eye out for the local pelicans, they really make the experience!
There is also a really nice spot along Noosa Parade, near to Ricky’s restaurant. You can walk on the grass behind the bus stop, near the small park, and sit on the river bank. It’s really lovely!
- Mount Tinbeerwah
Located in Tewantin National Park, this sunset spot gives you panoramic views of both the coast and the Hinterland. It is a little walk from the car park to get to the top, but it’s moderate, we would say. We did it and we’re really lazy, so do with that information what you will. The views were so worth it!
We pretty much arrived for the sunset and then left when it started to go dark, but there were lots of groups with chairs and picnic blankets who had brought some food and drinks and looked to have settled in for the evening. Next time, we might try that!
