Hastings Street is where you must go if you plan on shopping when in Noosa.

If you are not a surfer, you can always do a little shopping in the nearby boutiques before sitting down to watch everyone out in the water.

Four wheeling is popular in Noosa as well and Noosa North Shore is the best spot for driving along the beach. You might even spot some kangaroos during your visit. You must have a vehicle permit to do this, but they are easy to obtain.
