Hell's Gates — Attraction in Noosa Heads

SAW SO MANY DIFFERENT PODS OF DOLPHINS. WATCH THE VIDEO ALL THE WAY TO THE END. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. Beautiful. I can't even describe the Coastal Walk. It is just so magical. Everything is amazing. Nature at its best. The bluest waters ever.

There are some pretty benches made of tree trunks and places to chill along the way, but there are no water stations. Do bring enough water and food to snack at the different points.

Phone reception is tragic and almost non-existent, though (telstra).

There are many places where you can walk down steps to get to the beach. They are quite steep, and some require you to crawl over large granite rocks. Some parts of the walk were terrifying as there is no barrier/plants seperating you from the edge of the cliff. 1 slip and you unalive. The flow is that people walking towards Hell's Gate would walk on the outside, and people walking away would walk on the inside. The walk in was definitely 100 times more terrifying than...

This is by far one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. A little over 4km walk to get there and back but it's so worth it. The exercise is amazing for the legs but you barely realize it because of all the beautiful nature along the coastal walk, not to mention the access to so many little coves and pristine beaches along the way. You walk through leafy passages and among these amazingly huge eucalyptus trees with a chance to spot a koala in the national park. You can also see dolphins and sea turles if you're patient and vigilant enough - just watch your step as the cliff-side is unfenced a lot of the way. You can walk or run, and there are plenty tourists and locals along the way. Hell's Gates itself is breathtaking - the roughly 270 degree view of ocean and the waves crashing into the rocks is spectacular. You can cool off on the way back in the Fairy Pools. It is definitely a must-see if...

This is a nice easy walk on a defined path with a shop (expensive) and toilet block at the beginning of the track and another toilet block about 1km down the track. The path is part cement but mostly dirt and has plenty of shady sections and photo ops along the way, as well as several sections where one can access beach areas. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. The view of Hell's Gate wasn't as good as I'd have liked, but the topography doesn't really help that. The path continues on for about another 1.5km for those who have the time and inclination but I haven't finished the track. The two negatives on the day we went are a) the crowds and b) getting access as Noosa was stupid busy that day; having said that we did go on a Saturday during the school holidays, so it is to...
