Bouddi National Park
Bouddi National Park extends into the sea creating fully protected land, shore & marine habitats. The Park contains one of the last temperate rainforests on the Central Coast, Fletchers Glen.
In 1967, the park was dedicated as a national park & renamed Bouddi State Park, later renamed Bouddi National Park in 1974.
Bouddi is the authenticated aboriginal name of the most conspicuous feature of the district & appears on map as early as 1828. Bouddi is the Aboriginal word for the heart. View Bouddi National Park image gallery here...

Maitland Bay Marine Park
A haven of safe swimming with little to no surf most of the time & plenty of marine life & relaxing pleasure to experience.
Fishing is not permitted & National Park rules apply. You will need to walk 1.5 kilometres to get to the beach but it is well worth the walk. Leave rods & surfboards at home & bring a snorkel.
Pearl Beach Crommelin Native Arboretum
Crommelin Native Arboretum is one of the more pleasant attractions of the area & a must see for nature-lovers.
Crommelin Native Arboretum is a truly lovely 4.5-ha flora sanctuary with grassed areas, wetlands, patches of temperate rainforest and open forest crisscrossed by very easy walking trails.
