Why it's worth checking out
Sandy Cove sits on Claude Batten Drive in Noosaville, along the Noosa River on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. With 12 reviews behind its 4.0 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a lovely, generally calm slice of the riverfront — a cove with sand, gentle water and lovely surrounds, a genuine favourite for a swim, a paddle, a relaxed day or simply soaking up the gorgeous Noosa River setting in the lovely Noosaville area. It's a lovely, free outing.
