Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve, also known as Giidany Miirlarl, is a short coastal walk beside Coffs Harbour Marina. Its lookouts face the Solitary Islands and the reserve is a nesting place for wedge-tailed shearwaters.
The NSW National Parks reserve overview (opens in a new tab) explains the island's Gumbaynggirr significance and recommends a respectful visit that does not disturb nesting birds.
For arrival and conditions, check the NSW National Parks visitor information (opens in a new tab) before you leave, especially in poor weather or fire danger.
