This stunning beach in Noosa National Park is just a 20-minute walk from Laguna Bay near the park’s entrance. So if you don’t have much time to explore, it’s an ideal place to take some time out and appreciate the park’s tranquillity and stunning seascapes.

This north/north-west facing beach is surrounded by shady pandanus trees and plenty of flat rocks upon which to lay a picnic rug or even take a post-lunch snooze away from the hustle and bustle of Hastings Street. The rock pools closer to the water are fun to explore at low tide and are home to a myriad of marine creatures, including crabs, fish and sea anemones.

Tea Tree Bay is unpatrolled and not recommended for swimming. The rocky point however, is popular with experienced local surfers (who know how to avoid the rocks) and is known for its steep, hollow waves at low tide and fat, slow waves at high tide.
