Seal Rocks is a small coastal settlement in the Mid-Coast Council local government area, in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, 275 kilometres (171 mi) north-north-east of Sydney.

Currently the local council is making an attempt to commercialise the small caravan park, and a movement is once again growing against this.

[11] The construction of Sugarloaf Lighthouse was completed in 1875, ten years after it was recommended a light be placed to highlight the treacherous Seal Rocks.

[12] One of Australia's biggest shipping disasters occurred off Sugarloaf Point; the wreck of the SS Catterthun in 1895 when bound from Sydney to China with the loss of thirty one lives.

Although some reports state that 54 persons lost their lives, the NSW marine board of inquiry listed 31 as the correct number.
