The Noosa North Shore Ferry is the only vehicle ferry in the region, providing year-round access to the popular Teewah Beach for residents, workers, and visitors.
As a new ferry operator begins service this month, we look back on the history of our beloved Noosa North Shore ferry. Starting in the early 1960s as a modest barge, it has since undergone substantial evolution. This month, we eagerly anticipate the arrival of two new ferries: a 27-vehicle ferry and a new 12-vehicle ferry, aimed at enhancing loading capacity.
With Entrada Travel Group now in charge, the ferry service is set to improve by offering online ticket purchases and pre-booking options.
