Pandanus Lookout

Pandanus Lookout is a coastal viewpoint at 278 Alexandra Parade in Alexandra Headland, close to Maroochydore and a short walk north of Mooloolaba Beach. Set alongside Alex Corner Beach, it looks out across the ocean and offers an easy place to pause by the coast.

The lookout has practical facilities for a relaxed visit, including shaded public barbecues, picnic tables, seating, restrooms and parking. The site describes it as a clean, well-kept area suited to spending time outdoors, whether you are stopping for the views, planning a casual picnic or looking for somewhere to sit near the water. Entry is free and it is listed as open 24 hours.

Pandanus Lookout can suit a range of visitors, from solo travellers and couples to families and small groups. It is particularly appealing around a beach-focused day, with Mooloolaba Spit Beach, The Wharf, the marina and nearby cafes and restaurants also mentioned as local options. The lookout itself is a straightforward public coastal spot rather than a ticketed attraction, making it best for visitors who want ocean scenery, accessible amenities and a quiet break along the Sunshine Coast.
