Tucked away in the hinterland town of Cooroy, the Noosa Botanic Garden boasts an array of native and speciality plants, a network of bike tracks snaking throughout the gardens, and shady picnic spots overlooking the waters of Lake Macdonald.
Next to the Noosa Marina at Tewantin, set up a family picnic under the shade of the trees, where there are picnic tables, a small skate bowl perfect for learner skaters and scooters, and a fenced splash park where kids can run under the fountains. Pack a picnic or grab some fish and chips from the neighbouring Noosa Harbour Fish Market at the Noosa Marina, where you can even hop on and off the Noosa Ferry and leave the car at home!
Winding alongside the Noosa River for kilometres, the Noosa River Foreshore has an abundance of shaded grassy spots and sandy coved inlets that are perfect for a family picnic. At the lower end of the foreshore, there are plenty of cafes and boat hire options, while at the upper stretch of the foreshore, there are larger grassy spaces, sandy swimming nooks, and children's playgrounds.
Best enjoyed at sunset, the lapping waters of the nearby Noosa river and the westerly views towards the Noosa Hinterland make this one of the most scenic picnic spots in Noosa. At sunset, pack a picnic and head to the shore and join other sunset lovers watching the sun dip down behind the mountains, or head to the inner bend of the river where you can picnic at the dog-friendly sandy cove.
