NOOSA Main Beach is the most popular beach in south-east Queensland, with almost 290,000 visitors hitting the sand and taking in the beauty of the surrounding Noosa National Park.
The figures are part of Queensland Life Saving’s annual visitor report, where volunteer life-savers keep a tally of visitors to local beaches during patrols.
While Queensland Life Saving said the figures were estimates only, Noosa Main Beach proved the clear favourite with almost double the number of visitors than the next in line, Surfers Paradise with 149,605 visitors.
Alexandra Headland came in sixth with 97,792 visitors, while Maroochydore recorded 93,700 sun seekers.
Mooloolaba, the Sunshine Coast’s most famous beach, didn’t make the top 10 list.
