Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Sunshine Coast

"The passage of the Noosa River that cuts into the Great Sandy National Park north of Lake Cootharaba is poetically known as the ‘river of mirrors’ or the Everglades. Hosting almost half of the bird species found in Australia, the river's entire upper catchment is protected, making this one of the most pristine wetlands in the world. It's a perfect place to launch a kayak and camp in one of the many national park camping grounds along the riverbank."

"The Noosa River remains one of the most undisturbed rivers, acting as a mirror for the sunset to glimmer and sparkle on, with the hinterland in the background.

To really satisfy all the senses, enjoy the show with fish and chips from Noosa Boathouse or take away pizza from Zachary’s."

"Noosa's unmissable national park delivers spectacular coastal views (expect to see dolphins) and ambrosial beaches like Tea Tree Bay.

The most popular trail is the Coastal Walk; allow at least 1½ hours for the return trip."
