    Merrick's Learn to Surf

    With a string of fine breaks around an unspoilt national park, Noosa is a fine place to catch a wave. The best year-round break is probably Sunshine Corner, at the northern end of Sunshine Beach, though it has a brutal beach dump. The point breaks (First Point to Granite Bay) around the headland only perform during the summer, but when they do, expect wild conditions and good walls at Boiling Point and Tea Tree, on the northern coast of the headland.

    Noosa Spit, on the far end of Hastings St, has gentle breaks that are heavenly for the novice - unlike at Sunshine Beach, riders are protected from open water so the rips tend to be less intense. It seems someone is always le…

    Ocean & River Kayak Tours

    The Noosa River is excellent for canoeing, and it's possible to follow it up through Lakes Cooroibah and Cootharaba, and through the Cooloola Section of Great Sandy National Park to just south of Rainbow Beach Rd. Ocean & River Kayak Tours (in a parking lot behind Hastings St) offers two-hour sea kayaking tours that stop for snorkelling in Laguna Bay - if you're lucky you'll see turtles and dolphins.

  6. Fraser Island Excursions

Small day tours take place in comfortable 4WD minibuses - much preferred to the giant 40-seaters some companies use. Tours include a gourmet lunch and get a good reception from readers.
