About Malabar Headland National Park
Malabar Headland National Park is a coastal national park on the Malabar headland in eastern Sydney, New South Wales, within the City of Randwick. The park protects dramatic sandstone cliffs, coastal heath and remnant bushland between Maroubra and Malabar beaches. It is notable for its scenic ocean views, whale-watching lookouts, historic World War II coastal defence remains at Boora Point, and Aboriginal heritage. Walking tracks provide access to lookouts and natural landscapes close to central Sydney.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a natural coastal headland with rugged sandstone cliffs, open heathland and ocean views.

Visitors can explore lookouts over the Pacific Ocean, Long Bay and the coastline, see historic military structures at Boora Point, observe native flora and birdlife, and watch for whales during migration season.
