   2.2  Setting and landscape
Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse is located on the eastern side of Sugarloaf Point. This area comprises the north–eastern portion of Myall Lakes National Park. Sugarloaf Point is a significant landmark along the coastline with views from the Lighthouse to Charlotte Head in the north and south to Broughton Island and Yacaaba Headland. The underlying geology reflected in the jagged and inclined rock platforms and sheer cliffs provides a strong character that dominates the environment.

The lightstation is comprised of the tower, flag locker and flagstaff, two keeper's cottages and a powerhouse. The collection of buildings are all within close proximity to each other and contribute to the visual aesthetic of the region. Although the lighthouse tower and powerhouse are the only buildings to have retained their original function, the site demonstrates a relatively intact 19th century lightstation.
