Such a pretty little beach and town. Nice place to visit. Cafes for food and coffee are across the road. Good pizza too about 100m. And don't forget to go and visit the Sikh museum and temple.

Came here cos I heard it was a nice spot to see kangaroos. None there when we went at sunset but a few just down the road from this spot. Lookout itself is really nice and love that there's a nice footpath to walk down and around the cliff. Also some nice seating and parking right at the view.

Woolgoolga Beach offers beautiful coastal views, calm waters, and a picturesque headland with walking trails. Perfect spot for relaxation.

beautiful spot at the end of the road in town. definitely worth the stop. the parking lot is right at the end with the views but there’s also walks/paths right there if you want to go for a stroll. lots of cool birds and breeching whales if you look closely! and info signs
