Noosa National Park is made up of several separate preserved areas skirting the edge of Tewantin, Queensland. Part of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa's northeast corner is noted for high, rocky headlands like this one, and also for a long stretch of sandy beach that produces great waves for surfing. If you prefer calmer waters, a southerly section of Noosa is set along Lake Weyba, a slightly inland, ocean-fed lagoon that's only a few feet deep.
