Celebrating more than 75 years of service, the Point Lookout Surf Life Saving Club (PLSLC) stands as a proud symbol of community spirit, courage, and coastal heritage. Founded in 1947 by just ten passionate pioneers, the Club has grown into a cornerstone of surf lifesaving excellence and camaraderie.

Second Sand Studio is a love letter to the artisanal — a curated fashion and lifestyle boutique perched above Mulumba | Point Lookout, the most eastern point of Queensland. Founded by Clare Carroll and Tania Andrews, the studio champions slow craft, natural materials, and the independent makers whose hands shape every piece. It's a place to wander slowly, to try on something you'll treasure, to discover small-batch designers, and to find pieces made with intention.

Gabriel D'Hage-Craig is a Stradbroke Island-based artist whose practice bridges the raw energy of street art and the restless experimentation of digital design.

Starting out as a market stall, we now have three small shops side by side and our range has expanded to include pots, plants, homewares, swimwear, apparel and giftware. We would love for you to visit us during the Straddie Arts Trail weekend.
