Coastal Walk...Walking through Paper Bark Trees

Walking through Paper Bark Trees, originally uploaded by Ladymaggic.

The coastal walk started at the parking spot at the entrance to the National Park at the top of the hill.

The walk wound its way up and down the coastline, following the rocky inclines. Steps were cut in places, and all the track was sealed for wheelchair access and prams as far as Dolphin Point.
It was very beautiful.

The Australian bush edged the tracks and the paper barks made an attractive backdrop to the blue of the water below the cliffs.

A popular walk is the 3km coastal path from Hastings Street along Main Beach boardwalk past the beautiful and secluded Tea Tree Bay, Dolphin Point, Fairy Pools, Noosa Head, Hells Gate and into Alexandria Bay.

The views out to sea are stunning and give the illusion you are on a tropical island not on the Queensland coast of mainland Australia.

There is a walk back to Noosa through Tanglewood which runs through the national park.

The walk actually ends at Sunshine Beach Surf Club..and you can take a bus back from there to Noosa. Its about 7 kms to Sunshine Beach.

I shall be back to do more of the walks here. There are 5 different walks in the Noosa National Park.
