When it’s ‘busy’, you might spot a few people strolling along the sand keeping an eye out for a playful pod of dolphins. The Look At Me Now Headland is located around this area.

It’s only a short 30-minute walk (roughly) and you’ll get stunning coastal views all year round. Pack a picnic lunch and take the little ones up for a nice afternoon in the sun. You might even spot some ‘roos hopping about.

Throughout May to October, this is the prime location on the Coffs Coast for whale watching.Just around the bend is arguably the best fish and chip shop on the east coast… maybe even Australia (the reviews on Google can vouch for such claims).

White Salt has called the main street home since September 2011 and head chef Jonny Peacham will be on hand to prepare a feast of daily-caught fresh fish.

You’ll find the locals mingling with tourists while wading through the waves. The restaurant strip sits in the backstreets behind the beach and features a heap of quality feeds.

If you’re coming down on the train this beach is located right in front of the station for the utmost convenience. Pop down and see if you can book a spot on a whale and dolphin watching tour or just bring your own flippers and snorkels to witness some epic marine life.

You can go for a climb along the rocks – wear proper shoes so you don’t slip! If you walk a little further up you’ll stumble across Little Diggers Beach, which is an unofficial nude beach, for when you’re feeling a little cheeky (pardon the pun). The best scenic later afternoon or sunset walk in the area is undoubtedly from Diggers Beach to Charlesworth Bay.

It will take you two hours to complete and you’ll spot some bush turkeys, walk through the rainforest at Diggers Head and past the Solitary Islands Aquarium (a perfect place to stop if you’re walking with little ones).

The beach has shallow waters and plenty of shaded areas, so you can either lay peacefully in the sun or catch up on that good book you’ve been carrying around. It is also dog-friendly, so bring your puppy along for the day too.

If you want to grab some of the best fish ‘n chips in the area, head on over to Rosie’s. Serving up plates of crispy calamari, beer-battered fish, potato scallops alongside crunchy salted chips. Grab it to take away and sit under the trees to enjoy your grub and one of the best views in Coffs.
