This 13 1/2 km hike along the Coastal Pathway and into the Noosa National Park - Marcus Dunes section is relatively easy with some special views over Lake Weyba and the coastline.

If we are lucky we will have a double whammy of whales along the Coastal Pathway section and wildflowers (including orchids) along the National Park trails.

The Coastal Pathway section at the start and finish is a concrete pathway but the path through the National Park is a mix of both firm sand and softer sand.

We will take a relatively leisurely pace to appreciate the sights but will need to keep a steady pace to cover the distance. There are some small ascents and descents but nothing of significance.

The track is in the most part quite exposed so adequate water is essential - there are no facilities in the National Park. There are toilets on the Coastal Pathway at the start and finish.

What to bring:

Backpack
Walking shoes/boots
Appropriate clothing to suit conditions
Sufficient water (minimum 2L)
Whistle
First aid kit
Sunscreen
Hat
