Eurobodalla National Park

Stretching along the pristine coastline of the South Coast, Eurobodalla National Park is a mosaic of secluded beaches, ancient forests, and serene waterways. This is a place where you can lose yourself in the rhythm of the ocean and the whisper of eucalypts, far from the crowds. Whether you’re kayaking the tranquil Clyde River, spotting kangaroos at dusk, or simply soaking up the coastal vistas, this park offers a genuine slice of Australian wilderness.

Highlights & What to See

• Pebbly Beach – Famous for its friendly eastern grey kangaroos that laze on the sand; arrive early for the best wildlife encounters.
• Mystery Bay – A sheltered cove with crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and picnicking under the shade of banksias.
• Bingie Dreaming Track – A 6 km coastal walk linking Bingie Beach to Congo Point, offering dramatic ocean views and wildflower displays in spring.
• Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Garden – Just outside the park, this living museum showcases the region’s unique flora, including rare orchids and towering eucalypts.
• Nangudga Lake – A peaceful spot for paddleboarding or birdwatching, where pelicans and black swans glide across the water.

Suggested Time to Spend

To fully appreciate the park’s diversity, plan for at least a full day. Start with a morning walk on the Bingie Dreaming Track, then spend the afternoon swimming at Mystery Bay or kayaking the Clyde River. If you have two days, consider a night at one of the park’s campgrounds for sunrise kangaroo spotting at Pebbly Beach. The park is also an easy detour on a South Coast road trip, slotting nicely between Batemans Bay and Narooma.
