Norah Head Lighthouse I Norah Head
If you’ve got one of those big fancy cameras, then this is definitely the time to pull it out. As of the most Eastern points on the Central Coast, this spot really lets you get up close and personal with the whales – and trust us when we say that no smartphone camera will be able to do these majestic beauties justice.

Captain Cook Lookout I Copacabana
The views from the Captain Cook Lookout can sometimes be a little bit over-whale-ming. The stunning spot overlooks the Southern Pacific, meaning you’re sure to catch a glimpse of a pod making their mighty migration. If you start to freak out about how awesome the views are, just take a deep breath, and everything whale be alright.
