Clifftop lookout over Shelly Beach delivering sweeping ocean panoramas, dramatic rock platforms and seasonal whale migration — ideal for wide coastal vistas, long exposures of surf and telephoto wildlife shots. Best at sunrise for golden light and at sunset for color; whale season (Jun–Nov) adds action. Easy roadside parking, short walk from Pacific Dr; no entry fee. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds. Some viewpoints have steps—bring sun protection and water.
