Noosa National Park

Noosa National Park is a protected coastal national park at Noosa Heads on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Australia. Covering headland, rainforest, and beaches between Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach, it is notable for its accessible coastal walking tracks, sheltered swimming bays, and frequent wildlife sightings including koalas and dolphins. Established in 1939, it remains one of Queensland's most visited national parks for nature-based recreation.

Visitors can expect a coastal headland with well-marked walking tracks through open eucalypt forest, rainforest and heath, leading to rocky lookouts and sandy bays. The main Coastal Track connects Noosa Heads to Sunshine Beach via Tea Tree Bay, Granite Bay, Alexandria Bay and Hell's Gates. Facilities include lookouts at Dolphin Point and Hell's Gates, sheltered swimming and surfing beaches, and opportunities to see koalas, dolphins, turtles and diverse birdlife.

The headland was first reserved for protection in the late 19th century and formally gazetted as Noosa National Park in 1939, making it one of Queensland's earliest national parks. Conservation efforts led by the Noosa Parks Association from the 1960s helped expand and protect the park from development.

The park lies within the traditional lands of the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) people, who have long cultural connections to the coastal landscape, headlands and waterways. The area remains significant for its natural heritage and ongoing conservation values.
