No trip to North Stradbroke Island is complete without a walk around the gorges of Point Lookout. These spectacular rocky cliff faces provides vantage points for watching whales and other marine life, including dolphins, turtles and rays. The entire area from Point Lookout to Cylinder Beach is heritage-listed for its outstanding beauty, geological significance, blowhole, tunnel, rock ledges and reefs, and for the coastal vegetation where wallabies graze around the visitors. The area is also valued by the local Indigenous community for social, cultural and spiritual reasons. Walkways have been constructed the entire length of the coastal strip, beginning at the southern end of Home Beach opposite George Nothling Drive, continuing around the hotel, and down to Cylinder Beach; then around Deadman’s and Frenchman’s beaches to the Point. ‘Straddie’, as it is affectionately known, remains a quiet holiday destination, quite distinct from the dazzling development of the nearby Gold Coast, where its high rise towers are visible from the southern headland of Point Lookout.
