Noosa Marina

Noosa Marina sits on Parkyn Court at Tewantin, on the Noosa River on the Sunshine Coast. A lively riverside marina precinct, it's become a much-loved destination — combining waterfront dining, bars, shops, markets and regular live music in a relaxed setting right on the river, with boats and the water as the backdrop.

The appeal is that combination of a beautiful riverside location, a good range of food, drinks and shopping, and a buzzing atmosphere with live music and weekend markets, ideal for a relaxed meal by the water, a wander or a fun afternoon out. It captures the easygoing Noosa mood perfectly, with plenty to see and do.

With a 4.5 rating from nearly 2,000 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The venues, market days, live-music program and opening hours vary, so it's worth checking what's on before a special trip — though for a relaxed riverside meal, a drink or a stroll by the water, it's often just a matter of heading down and soaking up the marina atmosphere at Tewantin.
