Bongil Bongil National Park
A coastal national park south of Sawtell, with estuaries, wetlands and eucalypt forests that are home to wild koalas.
Bongil Bongil National Park protects the coastal beaches, estuaries and wetland forests south of Sawtell. It is one of the areas on the North Coast of New South Wales with a relatively high koala population, and you can also see yellow-tailed black-cockatoos and sea eagles. Popular activities include picnicking on the beach at the mouth of Bonville Creek, walking the Pontrey Creek trail and paddling a kayak on the estuary. Facilities are basic, and entry is free, making it a good half-day outing for families who do not want to travel far.
