The cafes and restaurants on sunshine beach, Noosa offer a fabulous alternative to the busy and sometimes crowded Hastings street eateries- especially during peak travel seasons. Sunshine Beach, Noosa is a casual 40-50 minute walk from Hastings Street making it a perfect destination for couples on a lovely warm night (and the little bit of exercise gives you a great excuse to be able to indulge in some decadent dessert!), or should the weather not be co-operative or a walk not be your thing, then you’ll find yourself there in 7-10 minutes by car.

By day Sunshine Beach, Noosa attracts fewer crowds than Main Beach, Noosa- however knowledgeable locals and lovers of surf can be found in abundance when the tide is perfect. The area has it’s very own unique and laid back lifestyle and attracts a little more “down to earth” crowd than some other Noosa locations. That said, there are plenty of boutique shops, restaurants and cafes in the up-and-coming Duke Street area, only walking distance from the iconic and alluring long white surf beach.

From Sunshine Beach, Noosa whales and dolphins can often be spotted frolicking in the ocean in the right season- so while spending your day in a cosmopolitan café might be your usual thing- why not make that coffee and foccacia “take away” and enjoy a picnic with some incredible sea life!

Cafes and restaurants cater for breakfasts, brunches, lunches and afternoon tea by day and restaurants, pubs and clubs are open of an evening for great dining experiences, a few drinks and a good excuse for a good time!

Dining experiences include everything form casual cafes to contemporary gastronomic delights in some of Noosa’s most acclaimed restaurants. Set on a hill overlooking the ocean is the Sunshine Beach Surf Club whose restaurant terrace is the ideal place to laze away a summer’s afternoon or enjoy a seaside dinner. Other popular places to eat include: Bluewater, Café Karma, Fratellini Ristorante and the Coconut Cove Bar and Bistro.
