Panoramic Photo stretching from Fingal Head across the surf to Cook Island. Fingal Head is in Northern New South Wales near to Tweed Heads. In 1878 a lighthouse was built on top of the headland which still operates today. The waters around Cook Island are a marine reserve and is popular with divers and for fishing (outside of the reserve). Fingal Head features a sheltered break where you'll often find surfers and the beachfront is undeveloped, sustaining a beautiful natural area.
