About Seven Mile Beach National Park
Seven Mile Beach National Park is a coastal protected area in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, stretching along Seven Mile Beach between Shoalhaven Heads and Gerroa. Established in 1971, it protects extensive sand dunes, littoral rainforest, wetlands and the Crookhaven River estuary. The park is notable for its long sandy beach, diverse birdlife, and relatively undisturbed coastal landscape south of Sydney.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a long, undeveloped sandy beach backed by high vegetated dunes, littoral rainforest, wetlands and estuary frontage on the Crookhaven River. The park offers beach walking, swimming and surfing on the ocean side, calm estuary areas for fishing and birdwatching, and short walking and cycling tracks through forest and dunes. Facilities are concentrated at the Beach Road picnic area, while most of the park remains natural and undeveloped.
