What people say
Lovely view. Nice amount of shade and sun for all year use. The area is well maintained.
Lovely secluded protected spot along the Coastal Walk. Plenty of shade and tables to sit down and relax at. There is also an outdoor workout station nearby as well. The Reserve is also home to the artwork “Folly”, pictures are in the review upload.
Perfect for whale watching. My go to spot. Nice rock pools down amongst rocks, just becareful taking the cliff track down, not for the faint hearted. You might see, the odd brown shake in Summer. They usually hear you first, so dont freak out. Rock pools are private. Magic Sun Rise, picture perfect.
Beautiful stretch of coastline on the south side of Port Macquarie. What you can't see in the photos is the ephemeral eruptions of white water caused by migrating whales.
