Geography
The suburb is bounded to the east by the Coral Sea and to the west by Lake Weyba.[3] Apart from the eastern strip of housing along the coast, most of Castaways Beach is within the Noosa National Park.[3]
Castaways Creek rises in the south of the suburb and flows east into the Coral Sea (26.4372°S 153.1052°E).[4] Its mouth divides the sandy coast into two beaches:[3]
- Castaways Beach (26.4314°S 153.1075°E) extending north to the neighbouring suburb of Sunrise Beach[5][6]
- Marcus Beach (26.4501°S 153.1036°E) extending south to the neighbouring suburb of Marcus Beach[5][7]
The beach Castaways Beach is dog friendly and without lifeguards.[citation needed]
