Beautiful, Secluded Bay Near Noosa National Park in Queensland

 

 

It might only be 100 metres in length, but Little Cove Beach Noosa is one of the most idyllic spots on the Sunshine Coast.

Flanked by leafy trees and lush foliage, the gorgeous sandy bay has a touch of paradise about it, thanks to its seclusion from nearby Noosa Main Beach which is much more popular.

In fact despite being sandwiched between it and the start of the Noosa National Park, you could be forgiven for thinking you were on a remote island somewhere out in the middle of the South Pacific when you step foot on it!

If you ever find yourself in Noosa, it’s definitely worth spending some quality time here.
