Forest Sky Pier | Sealy Lookout
Sealy Lookout is located within the ecotourism-accredited Bruxner Park Flora Reserve in Orara East State Forest.
In 2019 the iconic local tourist attraction was inducted into the North Coast Regional Tourism Awards Hall of Fame.
Sealy Lookout was originally developed for visitor use in 1968 when the local Lions Club installed BBQs and other facilities at the site. In 1970, during a tour marking the Captain Cook Bicentenary, the royal yacht Britannia docked in Coffs Harbour and Queen Elizabeth II visited the lookout to enjoy the panorama.
Forestry Corporation works to continually improve our visitors' experience, adding such attractions as the Forest Sky Pier, Korora Lookout, Gumgali Track, an all-access picnic shelter, improved parking facilities (including coaches), toilets, picnic tables and new walking tracks, including the garaan.gurr walking track.
Sealy Lookout is open daily until dusk, and entry is free.
Forest Sky Pier
The Forest Sky Pier at Sealy Lookout is a unique way to experience the Coffs Coast and mountain views.
The Forest Sky Pier is located on an escarpment 310 metres above Coffs Harbour and only 9km from the city centre.
It projects 21.6 metres beyond the original lookout and offers an expansive vista encompassing Coffs Harbour city, its foreshore and marina, Solitary Islands Marine Park, surrounding mountain ranges and the coastline far into the distance.
On a clear day you can see 100km to the south.
Adjacent to the Forest Sky Pier, a fully-accessible picnic shelter is available for those wishing to sit, have a cuppa and enjoy the view.
From Coffs Harbour, head north on the Pacific Highway for 5 minutes, then take the Sealy Lookout turn-off and follow the sealed road through hillside banana plantations and avocado groves to the lookout turn-off.
The Forest Sky Pier is open daily for visitors, includes parking and toilets, is wheel-chair accessible and is free.
The Forest Sky Pier is an award-winning tourist destination, having won awards at both the Countrylink North Coast Tourism Awards and NSW Tourism Awards.
