Perched within Moonee Beach Nature Reserve on the Coffs Coast, Look At Me Now Headland offers a rare blend of coastal walking and sheltered beach snorkeling. The headland's eastern flank drops into clear, shallow waters where the rocky reef meets sandy patches — part of the protected Solitary Islands Marine Park. Calm conditions reveal small gutters and rocky platforms teeming with reef fish, while the adjacent beach provides easy shore entry. Above the water, eastern grey kangaroos graze the headland and whales migrate past in winter. It's a compact, wild slice of North Coast NSW where land and sea collide beautifully.
