 Noosa's pristine beaches (above and below) are largely deserted during the winter months, while you can always pick up quality items at the Eumundi Markets (bottom).   |
There’s something magic about Queensland's Noosa in winter. While southerners wrap pale, sun starved bodies beneath layers of jumpers, coats and scarves, on the Sunshine Coast always summertime. The humidity that hampens the height of summer is gone. The air's fresh, the beaches sparkling, and the sand soft and inviting. And like flocks of migratory birds, many Sydneysiders and Melburnites head north to take advantage of the sunny weather (the average May temperature is 23 degrees), uncrowded attractions and bath-warm sea. With the town's frenetic summer pace slowed to an unhurried meander, any local will tell you that winter is Noosa’s best kept secret.
