Cattle Point Beach is a 17-kilometer stretch of coastline on the Capricorn Coast in central Queensland, within Livingstone Shire. This secluded, undeveloped beach is characterized by a wide, low-gradient sandy shore that can be up to 300 meters wide at low tide, built from sediments supplied by the Fitzroy River. It receives sufficient wave energy to maintain its form and offers a point break for surf. Backed by coastal bushland and a beach ridge plain, it provides a quiet, natural setting away from more popular developed beaches. The waters are generally calm, suitable for swimming and kayaking, and the beach is unpatrolled by lifesaving services.
