Windy Point

Windy Point is a popular hilltop lookout in Belair within the City of Mitcham, on the edge of the Adelaide Hills about 12 kilometres south of Adelaide city centre. Perched above the Adelaide Plains, it offers expansive panoramic views over metropolitan Adelaide, the coastline and Gulf St Vincent. The site is known for its sunset vistas, landscaped lookout area and the adjacent Windy Point Restaurant and Cafe, making it a well-established scenic stop for visitors and locals.

Visitors can expect an elevated, open-air lookout with paved viewing areas overlooking the Adelaide metropolitan area, Adelaide Plains and Gulf St Vincent. The setting is exposed and often windy, with landscaped surrounds, seating and interpretive signage. The adjacent Windy Point Restaurant and Cafe offers dine-in options with the same panoramic outlook. The area is primarily for sightseeing and photography, with clear views by day and city lights after dark.

Windy Point is located on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people. The lookout developed as a scenic roadside stop with the growth of Adelaide Hills tourism and suburban expansion in the 20th century, becoming a well-known vantage point for viewing the Adelaide Plains. The Windy Point Restaurant has operated as a landmark dining venue for several decades.

The area lies within Kaurna Country and is valued as a scenic and social gathering place for residents and visitors to appreciate the landscape of the Adelaide Plains and coastline.
