Look At Me Now Headland, Coffs Harbour

The Look At Me Now Headland is in the northern Coffs Coast beach suburb of Emerald Beach. It’s at the southern end of Serenity Bay, opposite the Emerald Beach Headland. To the south is the Moonee Beach Nature Reserve, which the Solitary Islands Coastal Walk passes along.

There’s a short walk from the car park to the Look At Me Now Headland, and there are marvellous views of the coast from the top. Come in winter, and you might see breaching whales. But all year round, you’ll see gliding ospreys and white-bellied sea eagles.
