Vehicle access permits are required before driving on Cooloola’s
beaches—Noosa River estuary to Middle Rocks—and some inland
4WD roads, including Freshwater Road.

are unstable and may collapse without warning.
Climbing on, sliding down or digging into them is
dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death.
• Engage 4WD and drive to the conditions.
• Aim to traverse beaches 2 hours either side of low tide.
• Keep off fragile foredunes.
• All road rules apply. Observe all speed signs.
