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 sand stretches for
hundreds of metres, allowing a close-up view
of Green Reef Island.
Shoal Point is a suburb of Central Coast,
Queensland and is about 819 kms north-
northwest of QLD's capital city of Brisbane. In
the 2011 Australian census the population of
Shoal Point was 1,086 when there were 498
Females and 588 Males living there. The
median age for people living in Shoal Point was
36.
Watch as thousands of tiny blue Soldier Crabs
scuttle along the mud flats, burying themselves
into the sand. The 'lone tree' found toward the
northern end of the beach is one of Mackay's
most 'instagrammable' images.
