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.
