Cape Hillsborough Northern Headland to Wedge Island

Mackay, Queensland

Make your way back along the beach to the southern headland of Cape Hillsborough. This spot grants access to Wedge Island, attached to the headland by a natural pathway at low tide. Walk across the eastern side of the island to cast your lure for reef fish off the edge. From the northern point, you can see the Wedge Island Reef and if you’re accessing this area by boat, you can fish the reef as well. Cast around Wedge Island, keeping an eye on the tide for your return trip to the mainland.
