Cape Solander Lookout, Kurnell, New South Wales, Australia
View Original Description
Cape Solander is undoubtedly one of Sydney's best whale watching spots.
June and July are the best times to see humpback whales as they migrate north to warmer waters, but they can also be spotted between May and October. If you’re lucky you won’t even need to look far – whales have been known to swim as close as 200m from the coast.
Named after botanist Daniel Solander, Cape Solander features a lookout with a special viewing platform – the perfect vantage point – along with information on whales seen in Sydney waters. If you plan on a coastal walk through the park, then Cape Solander is a good starting point. It’s also a great spot for birdwatching or simply gazing at the clear horizon.
