This Memorial is one of the most visited sights on coastal Queensland.  It is Queensland mainland's most easterly point and delineates the border with New South Wales.  Its plaques recognize the history of the visit of Captain James Cook on his discovery voyage to the East Coast of Queensland; commemorate the loss of Australian merchant and hospital shipping and members of their crews in the Coral Sea in the Second World War; and have an explanatory display of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project, a significant, oceanic, hydrological-engineering project which pumps life-blood sand under the Tweed River to the magnificent southern Gold Coast beaches.

Views to the north over Snapper Rocks, home of the Quiksilver and Roxy Pros, Rainbow Bay and all the way up to Surfers Paradise and South Stradbroke Island

Views to the south east, Tweed River entrance to the Pacific Ocean and D'Bah Surf Beach and Final Lighthouse.
