Moonee Beach Nature Reserve
An estuary, beach and grassy headland that together attract eastern grey kangaroos grazing by the sea at dawn and dusk.
Moonee Beach Nature Reserve lies about 15 km north of Coffs Harbour, where Moonee Creek flows into the sea. The estuary forms calm shallows that are good for family swimming and paddling. At nearby Emerald Beach, the grassy slopes of Look At Me Now Headland are often home to groups of eastern grey kangaroos, which can almost always be seen at dawn and dusk. It is a great place for close-up kangaroo photos with the sea behind them. The Solitary Islands Coastal Walk links these headlands and beaches.
