A street famous all over Australia for its high fashion and fine dining. Hastings fronts Noosa Main Beach. Shops line both sides, split intermittently with bars, restaurants and coffee houses. The types of shops that on Hastings are high fashion, commercial labels, boutiques and tourist shops. The prices are high, some of the shops can be soulless. Basically what we are trying to say is that Hastings Street is not good for hipsters. There is some trash, but then there is also some great little boutiques. Go explore for yourself, you are bound to walk down it.
