Woody Head, Bundjalung National Park
Woody Head
A headland and rocky bay north of Iluka, with a national park campground, rock pools and snorkelling spots, and views over the long, wild coastline of Bundjalung National Park.
Bundjalung National Park protects the coastal plain, heathland and long sandy beaches between Iluka and Evans Head. Woody Head is the most popular area at the park's southern end. From the headland lookout you can gaze over the Tasman Sea. The rock bay is calm, and at low tide the rock pools are rich, good for snorkelling and fishing. The beachside campground and cabins are popular year-round, so book ahead in peak season. Shelley Head and Frasers Reef, nearby, are also snorkelling spots. It is about 5 km from Iluka and is mostly reached by car. A daily vehicle fee applies to enter the national park.
