Boiling Pot Lookout

Boiling Pot Lookout sits on the coastal walking track in stunning Noosa National Park at Noosa Heads, on the Sunshine Coast. The first major lookout along the famous coastal walk, it offers gorgeous views over the ocean, the headland and the coastline — a beautiful, accessible vantage point that's a highlight of one of the region's most beloved natural areas.

The appeal is that combination of a beautiful coastal outlook and an easy, rewarding walk: a short stroll along the national park's coastal track leads to the lookout, with sweeping ocean views, the chance to spot dolphins, turtles and, in season, whales, and the natural beauty of the headland all around. It's a wonderful spot to pause and take in the scenery.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The national park and walk are free and open, but the coastal setting is exposed and conditions vary with the weather, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking sun protection, water and decent footwear — while enjoying the gorgeous ocean views that make Boiling Pot Lookout such a rewarding stop in Noosa National Park.
