Byfield National Park

Byfield National Park is a large coastal national park north of Yeppoon in the Livingstone Shire, Queensland. Covering rugged sand dunes, pine plantations, rainforests and long beaches, it protects diverse landscapes between Byfield State Forest and the Coral Sea. Notable for its massive parabolic dunes, freshwater creeks like Water Park Creek and Stony Creek, and remote beaches such as Nine Mile Beach, it offers 4WD, camping and bushwalking in a relatively undeveloped natural setting.

Visitors can expect a remote, natural coastal park with vast sand dunes, dense coastal heath, eucalypt forest and rainforest pockets, and long sandy beaches including Nine Mile Beach and Five Rocks. The park has sandy 4WD tracks, freshwater creeks for swimming and kayaking, marked walking tracks, and basic bush camping areas. Facilities are minimal and the environment is largely undeveloped, with pine plantation edges, creek crossings and beach driving as the main access.

Gazetted as a national park in 1988, incorporating areas of former State Forest and forestry reserves; the region has a history of timber harvesting and was subject to past sand mining proposals before protection

Located on the traditional Country of the Darumbal people, who have long cultural connections to the coastal, estuarine and freshwater landscapes of the Byfield area
