The Lighthouse Restaurant
Whitsundays
At a glance
The Lighthouse Restaurant is a waterfront seafood venue at 237 Shore St N, Cleveland, overlooking Moreton Bay. The setting combines bay-facing seating with indoor areas, giving the venue a choice of dining environments for meals, coffee and casual takeaway. Wooden floorboards and exposed beams add a relaxed coastal character to the interior, while the waterfront position keeps the focus on the bay.
The venue includes a restaurant, the Lighthouse Café and a street-facing Fish and Chippery. Seafood is central to the overall offering, with the takeaway kiosk continuing a long local tradition of fish and chips. The kiosk also serves ice cream and cold drinks, making it suited to a quick meal or a casual stop by the water. Online ordering is available for takeaway orders.
The Lighthouse Café provides breakfast on weekends and offers seating across waterfront and indoor areas. The café format suits a slower morning by Moreton Bay, while the Fish and Chippery provides a more informal option for diners seeking takeaway rather than a seated restaurant meal. The combination of formats allows the venue to cater to different dining plans without leaving the waterfront setting.
Event spaces and wedding facilities form part of the venue’s broader offering, adding a function option alongside everyday dining. The waterfront setting and bay views provide a natural backdrop for gatherings, while the indoor areas offer an alternative environment. Table reservations and gift vouchers are also available through the venue.
For travellers extending a Queensland itinerary beyond the Whitsundays, The Lighthouse Restaurant offers a Cleveland stop centred on seafood, bay views and flexible dining styles. The venue suits seafood diners, weekend breakfast guests, casual takeaway visitors and groups considering a waterfront function. The street-facing kiosk provides an easy alternative to a full restaurant booking, while the café and restaurant areas offer a more settled experience.
