North Mona Vale Headland

Has excellent views of Mona Vale Basin Beach and Mona Vale Beach, Warriewood and Turimetta headland to the south, Mona Vale Valley to the west and Bungan Beach to the north, with a trail access down to Mona Vale Beach. A great place to watch for whales - we saw a calf and mum and several other - also watching for whales were the Taylors - spotted them again at Johnson Brothers Mitre 10 at Mona Vale later on the same morning.


The whales were a fair way out but some came closer - you may need some good binoculars  to whale watch with:
