Information

This park includes one of the state's largest coastal lake systems - a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance - as well as 40 km of beaches, giant sand dunes and areas of forest catchment. The Grandis, a 76-m-high flooded gum, is one of the tallest trees in the state. Visit the historic lighthouse at Sugarloaf Point, Seal Rocks.
The lakes and beaches are perfect for all types of water activities-and if you don't have your own craft you can hire one locally. There's lakeside and forest picnic and camping areas with car-based and caravan camping at Stewart and Lloyds, Banksia Green, Mungo Brush, Dees Corner, White Tree Bay, The Wells, Boomeri {tents only}, Korsmans Landing, Bungary Bay, Violet Hill, Neranie and Yagon. Remote boat-based camping is available in designated areas around the lakes. Bookings are not required for camping. Most areas offer basic facilities, but bring your own drinking water and firewood (check locations where fires are permitted). Myall Shores Resort at Bombah Point (phone 4997 4495) offers accommodation, powered campsites, bar and restaurant, kiosk, fuel, telephone and boat/ canoe hire. Wheelchair access is provided at Mungo Brush, Violet Hill and The Grandis. 4WD beach driving is available from Hawks Nest to Little Gibber, Mungo to Big Gibber and on Lighthouse Beach. Do not drive on dunes or vegetation.
There are many walks to suit all levels, including overnight hiking opportunities. Take the delightful car-ferry ride at Bombah Point for an ideal touring route between Tea Gardens and Bulahdelah. O'Sullivans Gap picnic area is a peaceful rest stop on the old Pacific Highway, 9 km north of Bufahdelah. The Grandis is accessible along Stoney Creek Road from either the Lakes Way or Old Pacific Highway.
Access 35 km south of Forster off The Lakes Way, 15 km off Pacific Highway via Tea Gardens or 11 km via Bulahdelah. Some roads in the park are unsealed. Vehicle entry fee applies.
