This reserve is
home to Trial Bay Gaol (1886), a picturesque ruin which was built as a public works prison but was also used as a World War I internment
camp. The gaol is surrounded by rocky foreshores and pleasant sandy beaches.
Wander through the gaol museum, explore the
ruins or relax on
the beach. Stroll over Monument
Hill to the Little Bay
picnic area, or enjoy the spectacular half-day walk from the
picnic area to historic
Smoky Cape Lighthouse in
Hat Head National Park.
Around the gaol there are picnic areas and facilities for car-based and caravan camping, and you can stay at secluded Little Bay Cottage.
