Broken Head Reserve Road, Broken Head

The beaches at Broken Head Nature Reserve are uncharacteristically bordered by rainforest, and this unusual Australian terrain allows for views of both sea and forest-dwelling birdlife on the reserve.

The Three Sisters walking track is the best for whale watching, where the rainforest slopes into secluded beaches. The headland tends to burst with wildflowers at this time of year as well, so natural beauty will be all around you.

The history of the trail is worth a read along the way, starting with the Aboriginal story behind the three sisters' namesake.
