Byfield National Park

Byfield National Park and Byfield Conservation Park extends over 15,000 hectares. Boasting massive parabolic sand dunes (the oldest reaching more than five kilometres inland) and rugged granite pinnacles, the parks offer remote coastal camping opportunities. They also support many rare and endangered plants and animals and are the traditional home of the Darumbal Aboriginal people. These parks will delight birdwatchers. Sandy Point is part of an internationally recognised wetland and is a breeding site for migratory shorebirds. Endangered little terns roost on the coastal sands. Walk the tracks ranging from easy to difficult. Go fishing. Enjoy camping at one of three camping areas. The national park and conservation park can be accessed by Four Wheel Drive vehicles only.
