Just 25 minutes south of North Haven Holiday Village, Crowdy Bay National Park is a spectacular slice of coastal wilderness where rugged cliffs, golden beaches, and native wildlife come together in breathtaking harmony. Stretching along the Mid North Coast, it’s the perfect destination for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone craving a true outdoor escape.
Scenic Walks and Ocean Views
The park’s highlight is the Diamond Head Loop Track, a 4.8km coastal walk offering incredible ocean vistas, windswept headlands, and abundant wildlife. Keep an eye out for kangaroos grazing by the dunes and dolphins playing in the surf below. Between May and November, it’s also one of the best spots on the coast for whale watching.
For those seeking shorter adventures, the Mermaid Lookout Track and Metcalfes Walking Track offer equally stunning views and peaceful picnic spots surrounded by wildflowers and native bushland.
Wildlife and Relaxation
Crowdy Bay National Park teems with life — from wallabies and goannas to vibrant birdlife. The beaches here are pristine and quiet, perfect for swimming, fishing, or simply unwinding with the sound of the waves. With picnic areas and walking trails nearby, it’s an easy place to spend a day immersed in nature.
A Place with a Story
Crowdy Bay is rich in history and culture. The park’s landscapes were famously captured in the paintings of artist Tom Roberts, and the historic Kylie’s Hut, built in the 1940s, still stands as a reminder of simpler coastal living. The area holds deep significance for the Birpai people, the Traditional Custodians of this land.
