Point Cartwright Lighthouse

This place is a must-visit! Even if the Lighthouse doesn't captivate you, the breathtaking view certainly will.
Bring your own food, find a spot, and soak in the beauty of the sea. Just be aware, parking can be a bit challenging during peak seasons, and note that entry to the Lighthouse is restricted.

You've got a great spot at Lookout with a stunning view of the city and a beautiful mix of sandy and rocky beach. Highly recommended! Just a heads up, parking might be a bit limited around there. Enjoy the view!

Great vantage point of the ocean. Which is probably why a lighthouse is built here. There are a small number of car parking spots close to the lighthouse, but if you don't manage to get one of those you'll have to walk up the hill. Needs a bit of an uphill walk but is worth it.
Interesting lighthouse shape, I'm used to them having round edges, but this is a square shape.
There is also a water tower which is nicely decorated with paintings of ocean animals.

Nice walking area with easy parking around La Balsa Park instead of the carpark closer towards the lighthouse which doesn't have many spots and seems full with locals going for a swim. The walk up to the end of the rock wall is quiet and evenly paved but there's no path up the hill once you get to the beach/end. Instead head across the grassy area further back and up the hill where you will get great views looking back at Buddina Beach to the south as well as being able to admire the artwork on the water tower which was recently refurbished.

Great little nature walk around the lighthouse.
Beautiful graffiti about the marine life in the area.
Would love to visit here again.

Beautiful location. There is some parking but limited as it's very popular. Around the lighthouse beach area it's off leash for your furry family members. Lots of rocks to explore. No cafes or shops at the location but there are plenty of shops about 3 mins away. NO lifeguards or flag areas for swimming. There are public toilets at the carpark area.

Great views, walk along beach rock pools and sensational golden sandy beaches

What a beautiful spot to watch the sun setting over the Sunshine Coast.
A short easy walk through the bush from the carpark brings you to a spot where you can watch the sunset, walk around the lighthouse, discover a fabulous mural on a huge water tank & look back down the coast.

Highly recommended at sunrise and sunset. Dogs allowed off leash. Paved path to the lighthouse. Wheelchair parking available.

Very nice walk on Sunshine coast. Great views, Picnic areas, great swimming water and snorkeling in shallow water too. Nice and relaxing place.

This is an amazing spot to spend the morning watching the sun rise a great place to enjoy nature and get in some exercise while you are at it. The night view is also amazing. Good spot to take some fish and chips or cheese and wine and watch the sun set and the lights of the Sunshine Coast turn on.

A good vantage point to look out towards the sea and the city, was very windy and dog friendly.Has some art work done on a structure and a lighthouse adjacent to it.Has parking and toilet facilities and the beach is beautiful,secluded and mostly undisturbed.

Great lookout. Beautiful artwork, peregrine falcons atop the lighthouse. Excellent space.

What a gem. Spectacular ocean and rock pool views; stairs to the beach; clean and maintained walkways; mowed grass; seating; trees for shade; dog friendly (on leash); and toilets, if we score a park again, we'll be back!

Love it here! The beach along the way is really nice. Great chance to watch a beautiful sunset 🌅

Beautiful views, amazing area to explore.

This is definitely worth a visit to see the water tower, lighthouse and paragliding. The views at sunset were amazing.

Great place to visit. Short walk from the carpark. Very popular place.

Stunning view all the way from the parking lot to the lighthouse. Great sea views all along. The walkway is in decent condition and only a short stroll through the top of the hill.
There’s also a stairway path if you choose to go down to the beach. There weren’t many people there compared to Alexandra beach. You can enjoy a very easy and relaxing day out.

Was a beautiful place for my daughter to get married!! Not alot of parking.
