Cape Moreton lighthouse on Moreton island or Tangalooma is an amazing place to visit. It’s sits above the rocky coast line of Moreton Island and the nation park so it’s a fantastic spot to see the raw and beautiful nature that surrounds you. From the lighthouse you can see spectacular beaches and thick bushland but close to shore you can witness large schools of bait fish being rounded up by dolphins and packs of sharks ready for lunch which is fantastic to watch but sort of turns you off swimming in that particular location. Travelling by 4 wheel drive cars or a 4 wheel drive bus on the beach is a tremendous thrill and just breathtaking. View this amazing island by taking a tour around all aspects of this sensational location Truely worth a day visit or a brief stay Try it you will be amazed

What a place. If you go to Moreton Island try to visit the lighthouse. It's a bit of a walk to the top but there are stairs so most people will be able to get up there. It has a great view down towards the south where you can see most of the island. The lighthouse is spectacular and is being kept is great condition. It is a great place to see some whales which we were lucky enough to see.

Spectacular views from the top next to the lighthouse. Informative boards on the history of the area around the walking route. Also a nice bit of info on the history of the area. Need a 4WD to get to the lighthouse (as with most places on the island). Definitely worth a visit while you are on Moreton Island!

A great visit. The views was just spectacular. We can see the straddie and whole of island from the top. Just was amazed with the view and a cool breeze. With it being the oldest lighthouse in all of Queensland, it is One of the go to place in Moreton island.

Nice view from the peak. The 4x4 track leading up to the lighthouse was very rugged but from the carpark there was only a short walk to the lighthouse. There was signs about the history of the lighthouse and you could walk around.

Lovely spot at the north east point of Moreton Island. Has stunning views south of the eastern coastline, as well as the northern beach. Nice well preserved site with information about previous whaling activities in the 60s.
