Breakfast on Hastings Street under tall shady trees as shop keepers open up boutiques in ready for trading. Smell the aroma of fine coffee wafting up through the air while the waters of Laguna Bay gently break on the sand right next door. Stretch the legs on a stroll along the seaside boardwalk or take the track to the National Park just at the end of the street with some remarkable views. There's a hoard of sandy sheltered beaches within the park to enjoy including Alexandria Bay, Noosa's nudist beach and the site each year for the Nude Olympics. Drive up to Laguna Lookout on Noosa Hill for an unspoiled view over rainforest, lakes, secluded bays and coves and the Noosa River before bidding Noosa farewell. See the sights of the Sunshine Coast beaches as you venture towards Brisbane or alternatively you can catch a plane from the coast if you prefer. Just an hour before Brisbane is Bribie Island - Queensland's only offshore island linked by a bridge. As you cross over the Pumicestone Passage check out the hundreds of birds that call it home and notice the fishing boats bobbing along - there's some excellent fishing around here.
