About Sea Acres National Park
Sea Acres National Park is a 76-hectare coastal rainforest reserve on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, immediately south of Port Macquarie town centre. It protects one of the largest intact remnants of littoral rainforest in New South Wales, featuring a 1.3-kilometre elevated boardwalk. Managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, it is notable for its biodiversity, Birpai Aboriginal heritage, and the Sea Acres Rainforest Centre offering education and guided tours.
