Sea Acres Rainforest Centre
Sea Acres National Park
A coastal subtropical rainforest national park, where a 1.3 km elevated boardwalk winds through the canopy past giant figs and palms.
Sea Acres National Park protects one of the largest coastal subtropical rainforests in New South Wales. It lies right by the shore yet is densely wooded. The highlight is an elevated boardwalk of about 1.3 km that passes through the canopy among strawberry palms, strangler figs and bird's nest ferns. You often see brush turkeys, parrots and water dragons. The rainforest centre has exhibition halls and a café, and offers Indigenous-led guided tours. The boardwalk charges an entry fee of about a dozen AUD, and it is open roughly 9:00 to 16:30. It is about 4 km from the town centre and can be combined with Shelly Beach and the coastal walk.
