Previously it was a state forest which contained an unregulated camp ground with beautiful beaches and bushland.

Because of this damage and its constant use by holiday goers the National Park lands authority decided to create a National Park on this State Forest land in an attempt to help regenerate the bushland.

As well as the beaches there are tidal rockpools and a rocky island that can be reached at low tide.

Since its creation as a National Park new rules and regulations have been brought in to increase care of the natural bushland and native fauna.

The park's wildlife appears to be increasing in numbers with wallabies and possums being seen regularly.
