Welcome to Double Island Point

Cooloola’s Double Island Point is a local favorite, known for its pristine beaches, epic surf, crystal-clear waters, and stunning scenery. It’s the perfect spot for a mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty.

Join us for thrilling eco-tour experiences, including the Dolphin Sea Kayak Tour, Learn to Surf lessons, and Stand Up Paddle tours. We offer both private and group options to suit your style.

Double Island Point is a wildlife wonderland, home to dolphins, turtles, rays, whales, and a variety of fish and migratory birds. On our tours, you can even encounter six of the world’s seven marine turtle species in the protected Marine Park.

The tropical, crystal-clear waters of Honeymoon Bay and its unique saltwater lagoons make wildlife spotting a breeze. As part of the Great Sandy National Park, Double Island Point boasts diverse ecosystems, including towering colored coastal dunes, subtropical rainforests, and unique wetlands.

For those seeking relaxation, the tranquil, secluded nature of Double Island Point offers the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate. And don’t miss the soldier crabs that can be seen by the thousands at low tide, feeding around the lagoons.

The ancient, mineral-rich sand dunes feature 72 different colors, providing an awe-inspiring backdrop. According to the Kabi Kabi people, the colorful dunes were created when Yiningie, a spirit symbolized by a rainbow, plunged into the cliffs after a battle with an evil tribesman.

Double Island Point has been home to the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) people for thousands of years. They’ve lived in perfect harmony with the land, drawing on its resources for food and spiritual practices. The area is full of cultural significance, with many spots that show the deep bond between the Kabi Kabi people and the land they’ve cared for.

When Captain Cook passed by in 1770, he spotted the sand spit and named it “Double Island Point” after the illusion of two islands, which makes the point look like it’s split in two.

By the 19th century, Double Island Point became an important marker for sailors and traders braving Queensland’s coastline. Its standout shape made it an essential landmark for safe passage. In 1884, the Double Island Point Lighthouse was built, helping ships navigate through these waters and avoid shipwrecks. And even today, this lighthouse stands tall, keeping watch over the coast as a reminder of the region’s rich maritime history.

Ready for an adventure? Double Island Point is the kind of place that’s too good to miss, and getting there is part of the thrill! From Noosa, you can make your way through Tewantin, hop on the ferry, and let the beach drive do the rest of the work. The landscape here is something else—endless stretches of white sand, vibrant cliffs, and the kind of peace you can only find in the Great Sandy National Park.

If you’re driving yourself, be sure to plan around the tides for a smooth ride. But, if you’d rather leave the planning to the pros, we’ve got guided tours that’ll take you there in style and show you all the hidden gems along the way. Either way, be prepared for the beautiful wildlife—dolphins, birds of prey, and during the right months, even migrating whales!

Once you hit the track, the north side of Double Island Point opens up to the iconic Honeymoon Bay, but for a quieter experience, try the Teewah Pocket on the south side. For the more adventurous, the Cooloola Great Walk is an off-the-beaten-path hike through some of the most stunning landscapes in the area.

If you’re all about nature, beaches, and wildlife, Double Island Point is where you need to be.

There’s plenty to soak in here—from the stunning beaches and panoramic ocean views to the unforgettable sights of K’Gari (formerly Fraser Island) on the horizon. Don’t miss the iconic coloured sands of Rainbow Beach, a signature feature of the Cooloola Recreation Area. And if you look out towards the sea, you’ll spot Wolf Rock, about 2.2km off the coast. This massive rock is a prime breeding ground for the harmless Grey Nurse Sharks.

Here are a few must-dos while you’re exploring Double Island Point:

Take a Walk to the Double Island Point Lighthouse

This walk will take you along the headland starting from the north end of Teewah Beach, heading toward the famous Double Island Point lighthouse. The views are unreal, and during whale season, you can catch the humpbacks making their way up north. On clear days, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, manta rays, and turtles swimming around the headlands in the crystal-clear waters. It’s just an 800-meter walk to the lighthouse from the north side of Double Island Point.

Double Island Point serves up some of the best surf around with the perfect conditions being a 2ft+ East or South East swell, paired with Easterly winds.
