Thunder Point Lookout

Thunder Point Lookout is a coastal viewpoint within Thunder Point Coastal Reserve at Warrnambool in south-west Victoria, Australia. Situated on a rocky headland overlooking Lady Bay and the Southern Ocean, it offers panoramic views of the coastline, breakwater and Stingray Bay. The lookout is notable for seasonal whale watching, coastal walking trails and rock fishing, and forms part of the city's foreshore precinct near the Warrnambool Breakwater and harbour.

Visitors can expect an exposed coastal headland with a paved lookout platform, interpretive signage and expansive ocean views. The setting includes rugged basalt rocks, sandy coves, grassy reserve areas and walking paths connecting to the Warrnambool Breakwater and Lady Bay beaches. Visitors can observe waves, seabirds and seasonal southern right whales, walk along coastal trails, fish from designated rock areas and photograph the bay and harbour. The area is windswept with limited shelter and open year-round.

Thunder Point forms part of Warrnambool's harbour precinct centred on the Warrnambool Breakwater, constructed from the late 19th century to shelter Lady Bay for shipping. The headland and coastal reserve reflect the city's maritime history and ongoing coastal management of the foreshore.

The Warrnambool coastline lies within Eastern Maar Country. The coastal landscape is valued by Traditional Owners and the local community for its connection to the Southern Ocean, recreation and seasonal whale watching.
