beautiful walk. great views of the coast and not difficult. Is crowded at the start and difficult to find a park but a great circuit that kids will enjoy also

done this many a time :) its easy but you can make it as hard as you want by pushing yourself to do it quicker :) always a great view but ya got to get in early for an early start as parking is impossible even after 7am on some days it can get quite busy

One of my favourite walks with every bloody beautiful beach, koalas and beautiful nature that you can think of. Chuck in fairy rock pools on your gps and have a swim in them along the way as well as reaching hells gate to be lucky enough to spot whales or dolphins!

Easy to follow walk, recommend the Tanglewood walk if it's a hot sunny day as it's shaded, whereas the coastal walk is quite exposed to the sun. Tanglewood walk is also less busy. Really great variety of track. Parking is terrible on weekends and holidays, so try to either get there really early (9am or earlier) or park somewhere else and take a bus in if you can. Also avoid parking illegally, you'll get a parking ticket for sure, they're really onto it there! (Learnt the hard way, whoops).

Lovely gentle walk

Combined this walk with Hells gate and headland walk to Sunshine beach. 3. 1/2 hours Nudist colony on the way--much preferred seal colony and certainly not the same beach beauties as was in my day (50 years ago) Highly recommend the walk to take wheelchair bound family, the elderly the young and families. Views are out of this world. You would pay millions to live near these views. parking best in town for up to 4 hours walk and picnic-at top of hasting street. Great town totally catering to tourist at every entry level DO NOT miss this walk. Thanks to my Irish mate Peter for taking me here.

Nice easy walk, good views from Hells gate.

Nice fairly flat walk through bush land, beach and along the coast. Hell's Gates has an amazing view and is very windy.

One of my favs!

Sally on 2014

Beautiful walk around the headland on a sunny day, great views & plenty of wildlife to see in the ocean & bush along the track. Biggest challenge is getting a parking spot in the carpark at the start

Used to do walk / jog here all the time when residing in Noosa.
Many great other tracks in the National Park too.
