Day 2
Beach holiday
If your kids love the beach, then Noosa is the place for you. Noosa Main Beach is popular due to its north-facing headland of Noosa National Park. The headland provides a protected shelter from most winds, meaning you will find gentle calm water most days of the year. The perfect place to learn to surf!
Follow the coast road south to discover our eastern beach villages of Sunshine, Sunrise, Marcus and Peregian Beach. Home to skate parks, playgrounds, kid-friendly restaurants and open spaces for family activities.
Day out for the kids!

Cuddle a koala at Australia Zoo, board a steam train at the Mary Valley Rattler or visit Aussie World for theme park fun. SeaLife provides marine animal interaction and education while the Ginger Factory is an all-time favourite with their bee show, overboard ride and Moreton the steam train. Learn about birds at Maleny Botanical Gardens and Bird World and no holiday is complete without visiting the Eumundi Markets.
