Lamberts Lookout
A headland lookout at Slade Point overlooking Lamberts Beach and the Coral Sea islands offshore, a popular spot for watching the sunrise.
Lamberts Lookout is on Slade Point, on the northern outskirts of Mackay. A timber platform juts out onto the headland, overlooking Lamberts Beach below and the distant islands of the Cumberland group, including Brampton Island and Carlisle Island. The sunrise over the sea is most beautiful in the early morning, and humpback whales occasionally pass by during their winter migration. Entry is free, and there is a car park. It is about a 15-minute drive from the city centre. The beach below has box jellyfish in summer, so swimming is not advised.
