There's a rocky beach that defines the curving shoreline of Granite Bay in the Noosa National Park. Smooth, rounded pebbles of granite, dark grey and black, cover the shore instead of the fine, white sand that is synonymous with Noosa's most popular beaches.
The waves of a lapping tide wash over these granite stones, rolling them about so they tumble into one another. The result is a soothing and rhythmic 'rock music' that reaches those who tread the path high above.

The track to Granite Bay, and beyond, hugs a stunning section of coastline. We followed it all the way to the wide and beautiful beach of Alexandria Bay and back again. Upon our return to the place where we had begun, after hours of walking and swimming and walking again, our legs were most definitely weary and our hearts most definitely full.

Far more beautiful than the tourist trap town in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteNoosa's beaches and river and National Park are really beautiful but the town is very tourist-orientated. We tend to avoid that aspect by seeking out less popular spots. Making the long walk out to Alexandria Bay meant sharing that beach with only a handful of others which was just lovely. Thanks for visiting, Cheryl:)
DeleteMeg that is a lovely part of the world. I used to work at Noosa and I often walked the headland and swam at A Bay (plus a few others on the way)
ReplyDeleteHi, Fiona. We've done the walk many times over the years and I never tire of it. It's great to be able to swim along the way and then again on the way back if one chooses (we always do). It's a beautiful part of Australia.
