Shoal Point

O'Brien Esplanade, Shoal Point QLD 4750
Shoal Point is the northern-most community of the Northern Beaches group, with a visually spectacular coastal beach. At low tide, the beach can almost be mistaken as a small sweeping desert.

The 'lone tree' found toward the northern end of the beach is one of Mackay's most 'instagrammable' images. Take a blanket, choose a spot to dig your toes into the sand and watch a sublime sunset. Boats can be launched straight off the beach. An esplanade park provides shade, picnic tables, a playground and barbecues as well as picturesque views of the beach.
