For the perfect whale watching experience, awe-inspiring locations in the unclouded fringing suburbs of Sydney are the preferred choice. It is believed that whales migrate to their destinations to find cold waters amid April and December. That simply implies that these months are the best times for watching this remarkable creature, while catching them too as the gargantuan swim along the coast towards their destination.
Sydney, a beautiful landmark of Australia, is home to the most appropriate spots for sighting whales closely or faraway from its wonderful and vast beaches, located on the East coast. Although all the beaches endow with the most fabulous and rare scenes of whales’ migration but we have listed the top 4 spots where you can enjoy the whale sighting at its best!
1. Barrenjoey Headland Walk
The beaches of Sydney located in the North are packed with stunning and attractive sights, especially when individuals prefer serenity to walk along the coastline of Barrenjoey Headland. The pavement has an average length of one kilometre and reaches to an eminent building built in 1881 i.e. the Barrenjoey Lighthouse. Such a sight needs to be captured at once otherwise you will definitely regret for not preserving the view in pictures.
2. Magic Point, Maroubra
This spectacular place in Sydney is remarked with tourism features and eminence of a dive spot and the dwelling place of tremendous grey nurse sharks. Apart from that, Magic Point is a significant vantage point for whale sighting as well. This spot is located at a walking distance from the South Maroubra Headland’s tip while the path embraces headland cliffs which add to the interesting and exquisite view of the vast ocean.
3. Cape Solander
The government of Australia, upon recognising the significance of whale migration sight and tourism needs, made an official Sydney whale sighting count at the Cape Solander. The government has also established information boards on the site for the guidance of tourists. Cape Solander is not all about whale watching but it also embraces certain incredible coastlines in Sydney. Therefore, even if people are bored of sighting whales in a day, they can head towards other places by walking the Cape Solander track in the south, while reaching out to the sandstone cliffs and then the Cape Bailey Lighthouse. The Cape Bailey Lighthouse offers the view of the beautiful coast stretch line of Sydney at the location of Cronulla. So if you are coming along with someone special and want to enjoy a relaxing walk at the cliff top, then this is surely the place for you!
4. Ben Buckler, Bondi
Well, who doesn’t know about the famous Bondi beaches in Sydney? Everyone does! You will always find Bondi bustling with tourists no matter what time of the year it is. But Bondi has much more to offer apart from the beaches and hipsters! The Ben Buckler headland located in the north of Bondi proves to be an amazing spot for whale sighting in Sydney. Not only this, you can also get a chance to spot more whales than usual if you visit the spot in the whale sighting season.
