Why it's worth checking out
Point Cartwright Beach sits at Buddina, in the Kawana area on the Sunshine Coast. A strong 4.8 rating from 140 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is stunning coastal scenery — a lovely beach and headland reserve with a historic lighthouse, sweeping ocean views and walking tracks, a genuine highlight for a swim, a surf, a walk or simply soaking up the scenery. It's a much-loved local spot.
Beaches and headlands have changing conditions, tides and seasonal facilities, so check current details and swim carefully. Otherwise it's a free, scenic spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
