Geography
There is no road access to the point, but four-wheel drive vehicles can go along the beach, either from the township of Rainbow Beach in Wide Bay, or the longer way up from Noosa (after taking a ferry across the Noosa River).
The northern side of the point is a surfing location. On a good swell, a right-hander breaks over sand, and for perhaps as much as 300 metres in ideal conditions. This is the last (i.e. northernmost) recognised break on the east coast mainland (The remaining breaks being on Fraser Island). (Not including Agnes Water)
