Pt Perry - Pt Arkwright

Point Perry and Point Arkwright are two of the best look-outs on the Sunshine Coast. Set in beautiful coastal surrounds these spots are very popular for wedding ceremonies.

Point Perry

Point Perry is the best land-based whale watching spot on the Sunshine Coast. Whale watching is from June to October but best in October.

The look out and shelter was put together as a combined project by The Coolum Boardwalk Association and co-ordinated by the local school with input from local bird experts. Look under the shelter at the artwork produced by these talented people.

With the new Coolum Boardwalk, accessability to Point Perry is very easy. Starting at the base of the Coolum Boardwalk near the Coolum Surf Club, walk up the boardwalk until you reach the top.

By Car - Coming out of Coolum on David Low Way, turn left just after you turn the corner where the land rises sharply after the sea bays.

Point Arkwright

Point Arkwright offers amazing views northward to Peregian and Noosa heads and on a clear day you can see Moreton Island to the South. Along the boardwalk to the first lookout, keep an eye out for surfacing turtles, feeding ospreys and brahiminy kites. Also a fantastic spot to watch for passing whales in Winter and early Spring.

The route to the lookout is suitable for wheelchair and pram access to the lookout, but not onward to the clifftop walk down to second bay and back. The carpark is just at the top of the hill as you leave Coolum on David Low Way.
