Witness the breathtaking migration of humpback whales as they travel along the Central Coast. With pack leaders appearing as early as May, and peaking in late June, early July, they return south with their calves in September to late November. So during those months you’ll see picnic rugs, fold up chairs and benches occupied with people pointing into the blue wherever there’s a vantage point and a sea view. Some of the best viewing spots include:
- Gerrin Point Lookout, Bouddi National Park
- Marie Byles Lookout, Killcare Heights
- Captain Cook Lookout, Copacabana
- The Skillion, Terrigal Haven
- Crackneck Point, Wyrrabalong National Park
- Norah Head Lighthouse (don’t forget to take a lighthouse tour!)
- Wybung Head, Munmorah State Conservation Area, Budgewoi
