Tea Tree Bay is a small, north-facing pocket beach within Noosa National Park on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. The beach is approximately 100 meters long and is the first bay encountered inside the park, located 500 meters east of the main car park. Access for paddlers is via a walking track from the park entrance, which provides a 20-minute walk along the wooded coastal slopes behind the beach. The track offers good access along the entire length of the beach. Additional parking is available south of the trailhead at the Surf Life Saving Club, and public toilets are located near the beach. The beach itself has a high tide cobble and boulder shoreline, with a narrow sandy high tide beach and a sloping low tide sand bar. Wave heights average over 0.5 meters, and rips are usually present, indicating a shore break that paddlers must navigate. The beach is unpatrolled by lifesaving services. The surrounding area is part of the Noosa National Park coastal track, which passes by Granite Bay and leads out to Hell's Gates, offering potential destinations for coastal paddling trips. The bay is known for its scenic beauty, with golden afternoon light, and the wooded slopes behind the beach are home to wildlife such as koalas. The water is turquoise. For paddlers, the primary considerations are the carry distance from the car park, the presence of a shore break and rips, and the exposure to northerly winds. The beach is backed by steep slopes and a rocky shoreline, contributing to its sheltered cove character within the national park setting.
