The Nelson Bay region in New South Wales is home to the stunning Tomaree National Park, which provides a magnificent backdrop to the coastal villages of Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay, One Mile, Boat Harbour, and Anna Bay. One of the main attractions in Tomaree National Park is the 27-kilometer Tomaree Coastal Walk, which offers a taste of the park's diverse landscape, including outcrops of the acid volcanic rock rhyodacite, which can only be found in this part of New South Wales. The park also borders the largest marine park in the state and is an excellent spot for whale watching.
Visitors can enjoy a range of activities within the park, such as hiking, beachcombing, picnicking, and exploring the historical significance of Fort Tomaree. The park's beaches are perfect for family barbecues, and there are picnic facilities around Fingal Bay and Fishermans Bay. As you walk through the park, keep an eye out for sea eagles, koalas, and echidnas.
The Worimi connection to the land is strong, and you can learn more about this at Birubi Point. The park also features Point Stephens Light, a lighthouse built in 1862, and the Tomaree Head Fortifications, World War II gun emplacements on Tomaree Head built in 1941.
