Maheno Wreck is the famous shipwreck break on K'gari's 75 Mile Beach, reached by 4WD on the eastern beach between Eli Creek and The Pinnacles. The landmark wreck gives this stretch a bigger personality than the average beach check, and the long open sand run keeps the line readable when the east-southeast pulse shows up.

Live updates
West winds are the clean offshore lane and east-southeast swell is the named working angle.
The spot stays usable at all stages of the tide, but the inner bar holds rips and the wreck site is a busy pedestrian pull-off with a 40 km/h beach speed limit and a 3 m no-go zone around the ship.
Keep an eye on vehicles, washouts, sharks, and the tourist traffic around the landmark.
