Best photo spots in Coffs Harbour
Planning to visit Coffs Harbour, then you’ve seen the photos, right? Which photos? Well, the ones of countless passers-by holding up the Big Banana, of course! But did you know that’s not the only fabulous photo op on the Coffs Coast? We’re here to share some more locations where you’re guaranteed to get a long-lasting photo on your trip!
Let’s run down the list, shall we?
1. The Big Banana – let’s get this one done and dusted. You stand in front of The Big Banana; you pretend to hold it up and… Snap! You’ve got your first fab photograph.
2. Muttonbird Island – it’s essential that you climb up Muttonbird Island at least once during your stay. It’s only a 15-min walk from our self-contained apartments, after all! Once at the top, you have 360-degrees of beautiful backgrounds to work with. Happy snapping!
3. South Break Wall – from countless viewpoints you can see those colourful blocks at the tip of the South Break Wall out in the distance. Do yourself a favour, trek the wall and feel like you’re standing amid the ocean! Your photos won’t do the views justice, but that’s not to say they won’t be awesome!
4. North Break Wall – on the way to or from Muttonbird, you’ll find yourself cruising along the North Break Wall. When you hit that gorgeous golden hour post sunrise or before sunset, it’s quite the sight! Sip a coffee, soak in that sunlight, and snap away!
5. Sealy Lookout – it’s the ultimate view overlooking all of Coffs Harbour, well worth the short drive across town. There’s a sky-pier from which you can walk atop the trees and take an awe-filled photo.
6. Beaches (duh) – there’s many a beautiful beach, so take your pick! Jetty, Park Beach and Boambee are closest, and will serve as super backgrounds to any photo. This will make your friends jealous!
7. The Botanic Garden – it’s filled with glorious views, each with their own unique look (thanks to the flora within)! Japanese Pagoda-style? Check! Vibrant flowerbed-style? Also check! Creek and boardwalk-style? Well speaking of creeks…
8. Coffs Creek – not only is it a beautiful place for a walk, and super close to our apartments. But you’ll find serene views of a sparkling creek filled with fish and birdlife, not to mention a few sculptures sparsely spread along the path.
9. Headlands – From Macauley’s to Look At Me Now, there’s many a magic headland to enjoy. Why not visit them all?!
10. The Jetty – it’s iconic, historic and a little bit magic. Walking the Jetty itself at any time of day is beautiful, but it’s especially stunning during a sunrise or sunset. The perfect way to start or end a day and just a 10-minute walk from our apartments.
This isn’t everything, but it’s more than enough to get your started. Most of it is super proximal should you choose to stay with us on your trip, so check out our
room availability! We hope you take many photos that will last your lifetime.
