The marina serves as the departure point for the iconic Noosa Ferry, a service that has operated on the river for over 25 years.
The site sits on the site of the former Tewantin wharves, which historically handled timber and agricultural produce from the hinterland.
The marina features a unique 'no-wake' zone in the immediate basin, protecting the quiet atmosphere of the outdoor dining areas.
The complex is a gateway to the Noosa Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-designated site known for its significant ecological biodiversity.
The river banks adjacent to the marina are part of the traditional lands of the Kabi Kabi people.
Noosa Marina is a waterfront precinct located on the Noosa River in Tewantin, serving as a hub for river cruises and aquatic activities. The site features a mix of boutique retail shops, waterfront restaurants, and professional marine services. It acts as a primary terminal for the Noosa Ferry service, connecting Tewantin to Hastings Street and Noosa Heads. The marina basin provides deep-water moorings for private vessels and commercial tour operators. A dedicated Sunday market is held on-site, showcasing local artisans and regional food producers. The architecture focuses on open-air dining decks that overlook the river channels. The facility is equipped with comprehensive boat maintenance and dry-storage services.
