About this place
What to expect
Melville Point Lookout at Tomakin, on the Eurobodalla South Coast, offers beautiful sweeping coastal views over Barlings Beach to the north-east, and Mossy Point and Broulee Island to the south. Tomakin Cove is tucked in against the southern side of the headland. The lookout is a great vantage point for land-based whale watching in season. Melville Point is also known as "Burying Point" and "Gravehead", names that come from the early settler cemetery on the point. The point and its adjoining intertidal rock platform are on the Register of the National Estate as an important geological site. Dogs are prohibited at Cove Beach, and allowed on a time-share basis at Barlings Beach.
