Popular activities for visitors include walking, cycling, boating, kayaking, swimming and fishing. The most famous beach in the park - where many of these activities take place - is pretty Pebbly Beach, where kangaroos can occasionally be seen entering the water. There is also an excellent camping ground here with good facilities.
There are lots of walking trails to choose from, ranging from easy, 45-minute circuits to moderately challenging half-day hikes. Some of the more popular routes include from Pretty Beach to Pebbly Beach, which is steep in parts but offers spectacular views of the coastline and offshore islands; and the Durras Lake trail, which is particularly popular with birdwatchers.
If you wish to stay overnight in the park, there are a number of caravan parks to choose from and pretty camping grounds at Pebbly Beach, Pretty Beach and Depot Beach. The latter two options also offer cabins for rent, which have excellent facilities and offer wonderful views.
From the Princes Highway, there are various entry points to the park. Bawly Point in the north and Merry Beach in the southern section are the main ones. Roads in the park are unsealed in parts, but generally fine for conventional 2WD vehicles. |
