Suburb Profile: Peregian Beach

The coastal strip of pristine open beaches running south of Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach is becoming a popular hideaway for holidaymakers and investors. Just 10 minutes south of Noosa is Marcus Beach, a place where life is a little slower and more relaxed than in the heart of Noosa and where the trees and bird life prevail over development.

A regular occurrence at this time of year is the magnificent sight of passing whales in migration. The National Park runs behind the coastal strip with blue waters of Lake Weyba being its focal point.

The idyllic lifestyle overlooking the beach, or amongst the trees and birds, on larger than average blocks of land is offered here in a variety of impressive homes designed to capture that relaxed Queensland style.

The village of Peregian Beach is changing face and is now the focus of families in the area both local and holidaying with trendy cafes and boutique shops with international flavour equal to any on the coast. The beach is magnificent with kilometres of sand and surf overlooked by protected coastal dunes.
