Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Yuraygir National Park adventure.
Get on the water in this coastal park with beaches, lakes, and estuaries to explore.
Stretching 65 kilometres along the NSW coast and encompassing no fewer than 48 beaches, Yuraygir National Park revolves around the water. Hike coastal trails along forested headlands, stop to fish along rocky coves, and spot migrating whales from sea cliff lookouts. Tidal lakes and estuaries provide ample opportunities for birdwatching and canoeing, after which you can hit the beach to swim, snorkel, or surf. Seasoned hikers can tackle the multi-day Yuraygir Coastal Walk, while surfers should head north to the Angourie Surfing Reserve. There’s a choice of coastal campgrounds at Yuraygir, too, each with its own beach.
Summer (December through February) is peak season in Yuraygir National Park and the ideal time to swim, fish, and surf at the park’s beaches. Coastal hikes are rendered even more picturesque in spring, when wildflowers bloom throughout the heathlands, and it’s often still warm enough to swim. Winter (June through August) temperatures often reach 20°C during the daytime, and this is also the time to spot humpback whales on their annual migration.
Shelley Beach offers a picturesque camping experience with space for tents and campers. Enjoy peaceful surroundings, fishing, hiking and all the camping essentials.
