Pat Morton Lookout, Lennox Head

Worth stopping in... it's only metres from the main road. You can often get a great view from your car (in the car park without even getting out), looking north to Broken Head and further north to Cape Byron Lighthouse. However, I recommend walking up the stairs/boardwalk to the top of the headland for some spectacular views north and south. On the day we were there we spotted whales breaching and sunning their fins just off the coast. We also spotted dolphins playing on the surf break near the surfers and watched two very large turtles swimming in the clear water below. I thought it was worth the walk and we ended up spending such a long time watching marine animals below.

Stunning place to sit and watch the waves roll in. Have a picnic or do a walk up and around the headland. Very relaxing vibe. Great on sunrise!
