2. Botanic Garden - The North Coast Regional Botanic Garden in Hardacre Street, Coffs Harbour is nestled in a bend of Coffs Creek. It provides a range of walks where you can experience flora from Australia and around the world including prime display areas, green houses, a sensory garden as well as rainforest and mangrove communities. Although close to the city centre, it feels a world away.
3. Muttonbird Island & Jetty Foreshores - Stroll through the Jetty parklands, and along the historic Jetty. The northern breakwall leads to the Marina and Muttonbird Island, where a paved pathway goes across the island (some steep sections) to a lookout point on the eastern side, providing a good spot for whale watching.
