Point Lookout isn’t just another pretty spot on North Straddie. Perched on the island’s eastern edge overlooking the Pacific Ocean this rocky headland is one of Queensland’s most spectacular vantage points. Point Lookout isn’t just another pretty spot on North Straddie.
The famous Gorge Walk is an easy going 1.2 kilometre trail wrapping around the cliff tops offering views that regularly steal breaths away. Depending on the season you’ll catch glimpses of migrating whales playful dolphins or sea turtles lazily floating below. Keep an eye out for the resident kangaroos grazing near the path, they’re locals too and often stop visitors in their tracks.
Down below the beaches are postcard perfect but real enough for sandy toes and afternoon swims. Main Beach stretches out with surf rolling in ideal for board riders or just sitting back to soak in the sun. Cylinder Beach and Deadman’s Beach are calmer spots perfect for families or anyone after a gentler wave.
When hunger hits grab fish and chips from one of the casual spots nearby or stroll to the iconic gelato shop for something sweet. Point Lookout feels a million miles from the hustle of Brisbane yet it’s just a quick ferry ride across Moreton Bay. No wonder those who visit always find an excuse to stay a little longer.
