What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Tea Tree Bay's stunning natural beauty, calling it a secluded paradise with rolling waves perfect for surfing and relaxing. The walk through Noosa National Park is consistently praised for its scenic views and accessibility, making it a highlight for many.
"A great short walk up track 4 inside Noosa National Park. Really easy to get to, fully paved the whole way with a couple hills up and done.
Very secluded spot with a beautiful outlook. We went on a winters day so quite empty. Just a couple of people there braving the wind."

"Probably my favourite beach in the national Park with its rolling waves and soft sands, and as an added bonus you get the shelter of the trees on those sunny days. Having the bathrooms nearby is added bonus for families etc, and itβs a good place to set up base camp, whilst others in your party surf, you can walk the length of the national park, and come out at Hells Gate, and come back through the tanglewood track, if itβs too hot on the path, and cool down with a refreshing swim when you return.
Pack a picnic lunch and you can easily spend the whole day here - o mean why would you want to be anywhere else ?"
