Lookouts

The undulating landscape around Noosa creates vantage points from which to look out at panoramic views. Make your way to a high spot to take in great vistas of the stunning surrounding scenery.

Take the 30-minute walk to Mt Tinbeerwah lookout for spectacular 360-degree vistas of Noosa and the Noosa river system, with its string of lakes, the coast and hinterland forests. Mt Tinbeerwah was created by volcanic activity millions of years ago and stands at 265 metres. The lookout is located west of Noosa in the Tewantin State Forest.

Overlooking Cooran, the Cooran Tablelands and Mothar Mountain State Forest areas are popular for their walking tracks and swimming holes. Follow the trail to the Cooran Tablelands Lookout for magnificent views along the Sunshine Coast.

Challenge yourself to embark on the popular Mt Cooroora mountain walk – a steep trail up the 439-metre mountain near the village of Pomona. Each July athletes come to town to contest the King of the Mountain. The event record is approximately 22 minutes, but you should allow two hours, ensure that you are fit and take care on the unsealed track.

Stop at one of five lookouts located along the Noosa Trail Network, a mixed terrain series of trails for walkers, mountain bike and horse riders through the hinterland or if you’re feeling fit, try the Viridian Boardwalk from Hastings Street for some stunning views of Noosa’s beaches, river and hinterland.
