This location has some of the most glorious weather on the East Coast of Australia, with almost year-round sunshine, you see it truly lives up to its name! Double Island Point is a great place for the ultimate beach vacation where you can learn to surf the waves, kayak with dolphins and stand-up paddleboard.

Did you know that you can camp overnight? The camping at Teewah Beach 
in the Cooloola Recreation Area is exactly where you can do that. There are campsites along the coast that head all the way down to Noosa! This means you don’t need to limit yourself or your time spent in the area, just be sure to obtain a camping and vehicle permit.
