Perfect for bushwalking enthusiasts, this mostly sandy walk winds through open eucalypt woodland and heathland to Alexandria Bay.
Meander over sandhills of tall open forest, featuring sculptural pandanus palms, brush box, coastal banksia and pink bloodwoods. Dip into wet heathland gullies, brimming with small sedges, rushes and soft blankets of coral fern. Make sure to pack your binoculars—this track offers plenty of opportunities for birdwatching.
Explore several scenic side tracks that link to the Tanglewood Walk before arriving at Alexandria Bay, with its sweeping beaches and surrounding rocky headland begging to be explored.
You can also link to the Coastal Walk for a wider journey around Noosa's spectacular rocky coastline.
