Your Ultimate Noosa Civic School Holiday Guide

School’s out — and summer’s on. Whether you’re wrangling energetic kids, planning easy days with friends, or making the most of family time, Noosa Civic makes summer school holidays simple. From beach days and picnic feasts to road trips and holiday treats, here’s how to make the most of the season without overthinking it.

Sun, Sand & Smiles: Local Adventures

Summer in Noosa is all about getting outdoors, and the good news is you don’t have to travel far to enjoy it.

Beach Days Made Easy

Pack up the car and head to Noosa Main Beach, Sunshine Beach or Castaways for classic summer fun — swimming, sandcastles and plenty of salty air. Before you go, swing by Noosa Civic to grab the essentials like sunscreen from Priceline Pharmacy, snacks and drinks from Woolworths, and a roomy beach bag from Strandbags.

Picnic Perfection

If shade and space are more your style, Noosa National Park, Quamby Place and Noosa Botanic Gardens are perfect picnic spots. Pick up takeaway sushi from Brown Rice, sweet treats from Donut King, or BBQ supplies from Master Meats. Add fresh salads, fruit and drinks from Woolworths, and you’re set for a leisurely afternoon outdoors.

Ride, Scooter or Stroll

Local paths around the Noosa River and Gympie Terrace are ideal for bike rides, scooters or a relaxed walk. City Beach has skateboards, footwear and beachwear for the whole family, while BCF covers everything from water sports gear to fishing and camping essentials.

What’s On Locally

Summer is busy across Noosa, with markets, outdoor movies, workshops and live music popping up throughout the holidays. For up-to-date events and activities, the Noosa Council Events Calendar is a great place to check what’s happening during your stay:
