NOOSA has been named one of Australia’s best beaches, according to the world’s largest online travel site, Trip Advisor.
Trip Advisor recently revealed the winners of their Traveller’s Choice Awards for the best beaches in the world and Australia.
Noosa came in at sixth place for the top 10 best beaches in Australia and seventh for the top 10 best beaches in the South Pacific.
Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said it was great to have Noosa acknowledged as one of best beaches in Australia.
“We are thrilled at being voted as one of Australia’s best beaches by national and international travellers,” he said.
“Consumers are becoming very savvy and more and more are using consumer opinion and experiences as a source when choosing destinations and we welcome this accolade by the TripAdvisor community.”
The awards are decided by traveller’s votes and reviews on the Trip Advisor website, and Noosa has received some glowing reviews.
“Noosa is one of my favourite beaches in Australia. Beautiful, powdery sand and gentle waves,” read one of the reviews.
Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Island, took out first place for both the best beach in the South Pacific and Australia.
Noosa has also made the grade with Sunshine Beach Surf Club being voted in the top 10 beer gardens as part of the Brisbane Times reader awards.
Recently renovated with a large deck and ocean views, Sunshine Beach Surf Club has been described as a “hidden gem“ and is a popular venue for weddings.
Sunshine Beach Surf Club came in fourth place and was labelled “one to be on the bucket list“.
