Cooee Bay is a beachside suburb of Yeppoon, just south of the town centre, best known for Wreck Point — the Capricorn Coast’s favourite lookout, with sweeping views over Keppel Bay and the islands.

The headland lookout at Cooee Bay, and the coast’s premier viewpoint. From the top you take in the sweep of the bay, the Keppel islands offshore and some of the best sunrises on the coast. There’s parking and a picnic area.

Is there a beach at Cooee Bay?

Yes — Cooee Bay beach curves below the headland, a quiet spot for a swim or a walk between Yeppoon and the southern beaches. See our beaches guide.

How far is Cooee Bay from Yeppoon?

Just a few minutes (~3 km) south of the Yeppoon town centre along the Scenic Highway — effectively part of greater Yeppoon.

Why is it called Cooee Bay?

It shares the classic Australian "cooee" call — a fitting name on this coast, and a happy coincidence with Cooee Tours. It’s a quiet residential bay with a big view.
