Point Cartwright is a rocky headland at the mouth of the Mooloolah River, and home to one of Australia’s oldest working lighthouses, with beautiful, sweeping coastal views. From the headland, you can look north to Mooloolaba, south along Kawana Beach, and east across the ocean, with migrating humpback whales sometimes spotted offshore during winter. Coastal heath, rocky outcrops, and open grassy areas surround the reserve, which has remained a popular public recreation area since the 1930s.
