Hang Ten in Noosa

Noosa Festival of Surfing on now 10th-16th March

Noosa Festival of Surfing on now 10th-16th March

 

Back in 1992, a dozen or so core members of the fledgling Noosa Malibu Club (established in 1986) had come up with a a great idea. A longboard surfing contest that would celebrate Noosa’s perfect point break waves and unite the growing tribe of traditionalist surfers, just as the Malfunction event had begun to do on the Gold Coast in the mid-80s, along with the Alex and Byron Classics. A weekend amateur comp that quickly grew into Friday, Noosa was cool, rootsy and fun.

Now this small comp is blown out into a not to be missed festival with music, food, drink and of course surfing. Be sure tocCheck out the Zinc Stage at first point for live bands and the rest of the entertainment on Hastings St.

Whitehaven Beach. Come see Australia’s Best!

Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Iskand

Whitehaven Beach has been named third Best Beach in the World.  It came pretty close behind a remote beach in Sicily, Italy called Rabbit Beach and Grace Bay, Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos.

Rabbit Beach in Sicily

Whitehaven Beach is on Whitsunday Island in the beautiful Whitsundays off the coast of Queensland.  With over seven kilometres of pristine sand along the island you will see why it has been named the Best Beach in the World in previous years.

Beaches in Brazil, Spain, Puerto Rico, Bermuda and Aruba also featured in the top 10, praised for their white sands and swaying palm trees.

There was one big surprise in the Trip Advisor list: coming 10th was Rhossili Bay in Swansea, Wales, which beat beaches in Hawaii, the Caribbean and more exotic locations to make the top 10 list.

Rhossili Bay, on the Gower Peninsula, stretches for five kilometres and its vast expanse of sand backed by sand dunes and towering cliffs make it popular with surfers, paragliders and ramblers.

Heart Shaped Reef, Whitsunday Islands

You too can experience the breathtaking Whitsunday Islands and walk the amazing Whitehaven beach with our deals and packages at Peterpans  or head into your closest store for deals like our 11 night Atlantic Clipper East coast package. Sail the islands and swim with the beautiful sea life in the crystal clear waters of  the Whitsundays.
