Noosa National Park lies on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland near Noosa Heads, with the entrance to its Headland Section about 2 km from the town centre in a straight line and about 121 km north of Brisbane. It is the most visited national park in Australia, with more than a million visits a year. The park covers about 4,000 hectares in four sections. Early settlers set the area aside as a reserve in 1879, and it became a national park in 1939. The Headland Section holds pockets of rainforest dominated by hoop and kauri pines, along with open eucalypt forest and pandanus palms. Koalas and many birds live here, and the headlands are a favourite spot to watch humpback whales on their migration. Small coves of turquoise water, rocky cliffs pounded by surf and long sandy beaches such as Alexandria Bay follow one another along the coast. At Hell's Gate the cliffs drop into deep blue water. The park has eight walking tracks, the longest 10.8 km. The best known is the Coastal Walk past Hell's Gate to Sunshine Beach, the most walked trail in Queensland. The beaches are not patrolled, Alexandria Bay has strong currents, and camping is not allowed.
