From Rosecliffe Farm Cottages, the Noosa North Shore Ferry is about a 35-minute drive. The ferry runs from 5:30am to 10:20pm daily (until 12:20am on Friday and Saturday nights).
From there, it's about a 30-kilometre 4WD drive up the beach to Double Island Point. You will enter Cooloola National Park and pass the amazing coloured sands, including Red Canyon.
For anglers, there are opportunities to collect worms and pipis for bait, and fishing is excellent in the gutters found along the beach (tip: plan your trip around low tide).
Between June and August, and again between September and November, keep a lookout for humpback whales on their migration route.
At Double Island Point, take the trail up to the lighthouse, where the views are exceptional. Look out for turtles, dolphins and whales. At the base of the trail there is a wonderful beach for lounging, picnicking, surfing, swimming (no lifeguard) and fishing.
You can also take the 4WD cutting to Rainbow Beach. There are many 4WD and hiking options in Cooloola National Park.
