But remember you will be looking directly into the sun so don\u2019t forget to pack your sunnies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Norah Head Lighthouse:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Central Coast icon offers a stunning vista across the Pacific Ocean, making it the perfect vantage point for whale watching during migration season. Being one of the most Eastern points on the Central Coast, you can really get up close and personal with these majestic giants of the sea with just a short walk through the bush to the lighthouse, before heading down the stairs to the rock shelf for the best vantage point for whales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Gerrin Point Lookout, Bouddi National Park:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CWJg3PHhnz6\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
