Great outlook with lots to see

Easy to get to with lots of scenic and surfing views. Ice cream, good cafe and art studio also there. Well worth the drive/walk along the ocean.

With views of New South Wales and Queensland beaches it's a great monument, I believe it's no longer used as a watch tower anymore and there has been discussion to remove it but that would be a shame. Free car parking and some lovely BBQ...More

Ideal location to do whale watching

Fantastic views of Pacific Ocean from Kingscliff to Surfers Paradise. Ideal location to view the whale migrations and see them breaching. Very little parking, but well worth a visit. There is some seating available as well as lovely grassed areas.
