North Tura Beach
A scenic way to explore Bournda National Park is to walk along the coast. Located on the Sapphire Coast, the park has numerous walks through the park, bypassing waterways, wildlife and lakes to the ocean.
Bournda National Park
Running the length of the coast from south of the the town of Tathra to the beach at Tura, there are dramatic cliffs, headlands, stunning isolated beaches and islands. Following along this coastline is a 13 kilometre track that you can walk to enjoy views free of development and nature at its best.
In the hinterlands of the park, there are three lakes, including Bondi Lake, Bournda Lagoon and Wallagoot Lake. The lakes offer waterskiing, boating, paddling, sail boarding, fishing and swimming, while the ocean here has a number of excellent surfing spots.
Birdlife and Native Wildlife
If your quiet, there is plenty of birdlife and wildlife to see. Over 200 bird species have been recorded in the park, with water fowl near the lakes, including Black Swans.
With a bit more luck in the right season (warmer months), you will see whales as they pass to their feeding grounds in the south, or northwards to where they calve.
Walks
There are a number of other walks of varying difficulty that traverse the park, the roads allow bicycling. Camping is available as are picnic areas. Fishing is allowed in some areas.
