Why Visit Waddy Point?

Waddy Point is a stunning, secluded corner of K'gari (Fraser Island) that offers many opportunities for adventure outdoors. Travellers staying at Waddy Point can enjoy some of the best fishing gutters on the island - thousands of anglers visit every year to catch the plentiful tailor, dart, bream, flathead and whiting from the beach. On a calm day, Marloo Bay’s sheltered waters are perfect for kayaking, canoeing or trying your luck at stand-up paddleboarding.

Visit Waddy Point’s rocky headland to explore the natural rock pools, stroll along the sand dunes to Conner’s Corner or take the 2.4km return track to the Binngih Sandblow - there is plenty to keep everyone entertained at Wabby Point.
