Rex Lookout

Rex Lookout, nestled along the Captain Cook Highway in Wangetti, offers stunning panoramic views of the Coral Sea and the rainforest-clad hills of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. This vantage point is a photographer's dream, especially during sunrise and sunset when the lighting is optimal and the sky bursts into vivid colors, enhancing the dramatic scenery. The lookout is a favorite spot for hang-gliders, and capturing their colorful sails against the blue ocean can add dynamic elements to your photos. The area is accessible via a short walk from the roadside parking, and early arrival is recommended to avoid crowds and secure the best angles for photography.
