Tips For Your Trip

First of all – you will need a 4WD or All Wheel Drive and a beach permit to access Teewah easily. The beaches are treated as public roads so despite the holiday atmosphere you still need to drive safely and watch out for other vehicles and people on the beach as well as wildlife. Stay focussed on what lies ahead on the beach and be alert for debris or ‘beach washouts’ caused by run off from freshwater creeks. Please follow the speed zones and be aware of turtle season and migratory birds. My Beach Getaway is the ideal location for a beach holiday and you can easily add on a fun day trip to nearby Noosa.

Recommended for All seasons

In the winter months, friends and family can snuggle beside a cosy fireplace or the outside fire pit toasting marshmallows. Watch the whales as they pass by with their new calves in tow.

Summer months it’s beautiful just strolling along the beach, sunrise or at sunset, or staring up at the stars at night. Riding a wave or splashing in the shoreline. For those who love something different you can ride horses on the beach. Equathon Horse riding adventures at Noosa North Shore and Rainbow Beach horse rides cater for you.

Here are a few things you can do during your stay. It only takes:

  • 2 minutes to walk to the beach along a sand track.
  • 1 hour for a return trip walk to the lakes (30 minutes each way).
  • 2 minutes to walk to the start of the Cooloola National Park and then Mount Seawah walk is 1 hour trail along the Great Sandy Walk one way.
  • 10 minutes back up the beach and return to the bitumen road and you will come across the caravan park which is good for convenience and confectionery items or continue back to North Shore Getaway Bar, Bistro and Shop.
  • 30 minute drive to Eumundi Markets open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7:00 to 2:00.
  • 20 minutes and across the ferry again and you can be back at the Noosa Marina for Sunday markets or a restaurant meal.
