Why it's worth checking out
St Helena lookout sits on Coolamon Scenic Drive at Coorabell, in the lovely hinterland near Byron Bay on the New South Wales north coast. A strong 4.7 rating from 366 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved viewpoint.
The appeal is sweeping views in a beautiful setting — a lookout that takes in the rolling hinterland, the coast and, on a clear day, all the way to the Byron lighthouse and the sea. It's a perfect spot to pause, take a photo or catch the sunset while touring the scenic drives around Byron.
Lookouts have changing conditions and the roads are winding, so drive carefully and check current access if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and water, and take your time soaking up the views.
