Lamberts Beach

Lamberts Beach is a sandy ocean beach at Slade Point in Mackay, Queensland, facing the Coral Sea within the Mackay local government area. It features a long stretch of sand backed by a grassy foreshore reserve and the elevated Lamberts Beach Lookout. The beach is notable as a seasonal nesting site for flatback turtles and for its views along the coastline. It is popular for walking, swimming, fishing and birdwatching in a relaxed suburban setting.

Visitors can expect a long, sandy beach with open views of the Coral Sea, backed by a grassed foreshore park with shade trees. The area includes the Lamberts Beach Lookout offering elevated coastal views, a playground, picnic and barbecue areas, and walking paths along the foreshore. The beach itself is sandy with intertidal flats at low tide, suitable for beach walking, fishing and birdwatching. Seasonal turtle nesting activity can be observed from a distance during nesting season.

Lamberts Beach lies on Yuwi Country and forms part of Mackay's northern coastline developed for recreation as the suburb of Slade Point grew. The foreshore has been maintained as a public reserve for community beach use and coastal conservation.

The beach is recognised locally as an important natural and community recreation area and as a significant seasonal nesting habitat for flatback turtles, with community and council-led conservation and viewing programs during nesting season.
