Caloundra Lighthouses

Last updated October 2026

Guided tours of Caloundra's 1896 and 1968 lighthouses on the second and fourth Saturdays; children free.

The Caloundra Lighthouses mark the entrance to Moreton Bay and the North West Channel, the main shipping route into Brisbane. The 1896 lighthouse is the oldest surviving building in Caloundra and was replaced in 1968 by the new signal station, light and radar installation. Volunteers from the Friends of Caloundra Lighthouses run guided tours of both buildings on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 9am to 3pm, or by appointment. Adult entry fees apply and children are free, according to Sunshine Coast Council's heritage listing.
