Located in the heart of Noosa Heads, this beachside street is a chic enclave of cosmopolitan cafés, resort-style accommodation and designer shopping.

Day or night, find exciting events, shopping or dining on Noosa’s Hastings Street, a central hub in one of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular destinations. Wander along the pedestrian-friendly street that is lined with an eclectic array of boutique shops, luxury accommodation and diverse restaurants. Hastings Street is right next to the white sand and crystal-clear water of Noosa Beach.

Stroll along Hastings Street after your morning swim and find a seat in the outdoor dining area of a café. Sit and enjoy your breakfast under leafy trees or in the sunshine as you watch Noosa come to life. As Hastings Street lies directly behind Noosa’s famous Main Beach, you have the perfect excuse to purchase new swimwear or designer sunglasses from one of the many fashion boutiques.

Join the locals for a drink at the Noosa Heads Surf Club or indulge in a locally made ice cream from one of the parlours along the street. Sip wine or an espresso at an open-air café or browse local galleries selling artworks and handmade designs. Noosa has strict height limitations on buildings and so there are no high-rises along Hastings Street. Sit on the beach, at the park or on the tree-lined beachside promenade of Hastings Street and watch the sunset without looming shadows.

To explore the nearby natural surrounds, follow the walking track from Hastings Street along the foreshore through Noosa National Park, one of Queensland’s few coastal national parks. Follow the well-signed tracks all the way to Sunshine Beach, approximately a 40-minute walk away, and relax on the golden shores. Keep a watch for dolphins and whales along the way through Laguna Bay. 

Hastings Street is a 2-hour drive north of Brisbane or a 30-minute drive from Sunshine Coast Airport. The consistently warm weather in this part of Queensland means that you can visit at any time of the year and enjoy a swim or sunbathe.

Parking in this area is always quite difficult but it is well serviced by the ferry on the river and the local buses. We did manage to get parking this time however. Lots of boutique shops, restaurants just one street back from the foreshore. Recommend the Surf Life Saving Club for a visit, meal and great view of the beachfront with changing rooms below for access to the beach.

2/5 - Disappointing
