Point Lookout

Point Lookout is a coastal headland and township at the easternmost point of North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) in Redland City, Queensland. It is known for its dramatic cliffs, ocean views, and the North Gorge Walk. The area includes patrolled surf beaches such as Cylinder and Main Beach and is a renowned land-based whale watching location during the annual humpback migration.

Visitors can expect a rugged coastal headland with cliff-top walking tracks, ocean lookouts, and sandy surf beaches below. The North Stradbroke Island Gorge Walk loops around the headland with boardwalks, stairs and viewing platforms overlooking North Gorge, rocky outcrops and the Pacific Ocean. The township has cafes, shops and accommodation, with opportunities for swimming, surfing, snorkelling, photography and seasonal whale and dolphin watching from the cliffs.

Point Lookout was named by Captain James Cook in 1770 during his voyage along the east coast of Australia. The headland later hosted a signal station and lighthouse. North Stradbroke Island has a long history of occupation by the Quandamooka people.

Point Lookout lies within Quandamooka Country on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), traditionally cared for by the Quandamooka people. The island and its coastal landscapes hold ongoing cultural significance for Traditional Owners.
