Central Coast, NSW

About this place
Crackneck Point lookout in Wyrrabalong National Park is one of the Central Coast's easiest big views: park beside the grass, use the accessible picnic tables, and look north over Shelly Beach toward Norah Head, Tuggerah Lake and The Entrance. It is a known whale-watching and hang-gliding site. The Coast walking track runs through here — about 2 km north to Bateau Bay Beach picnic area or 1.5 km south toward Forresters Beach. Park hours 5.30 am to 8 pm in daylight saving, 5.30 am to 6 pm otherwise.
