Take in one of Queensland’s most unforgettable coastal views at the historic Double Island Point Lighthouse.

Perched atop a rugged headland between Rainbow Beach and K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), this lighthouse has stood since 1884, guiding ships through these coastal waters for over a century. A short but steep walk leads to the summit, where sweeping 360-degree views reveal the vast beauty of the region from the golden sands of Rainbow Beach to Noosa’s distant shoreline and K’gari’s southern tip. Along the way, native bushland surrounds the trail, offering glimpses of local wildlife, while the turquoise waters below are often dotted with dolphins, turtles, manta rays, and even humpback whales in cooler months. Although the lighthouse itself is closed to visitors, the panoramic scenery and rich maritime history make it a rewarding destination.

Pack your camera and take the short hike to experience the coastal wonder of Double Island Point Lighthouse.
