How to get to Seal Rocks

Lighthouse Beach offers good diving, snorkelling, surfing and fishing in a spectacular wild landscape. The beach faces almost due south, fully exposing it to all waves from that direction. It is bordered by Sugarloaf Point and Seal Rocks Reef in the north and Treachery Head in the south.

Lighthouse Beach can be accessed either by taking the short walk to Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse or by driving down towards Treachery Beach.

This beach can also be accessed by 4WD (but you must have a valid Parks Pass from NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service for this beach and other designated 4WD beaches in Myall Lakes National Park).

Bear in mind that this beach is not patrolled.

Number One Beach is well-named; it really could be the best beach in the state or even Australia: the beach, the views and the waters are so beautiful!

Number One Beach faces north, providing sweeping views back towards Pacific Palms and offering protected swimming. It is also a good surf beach with a rocky headland walk.

At times weed can appear on the beach with rough seas, at this time Boat Beach, Lighthouse Beach and Treachery Beach are a good alternative.

Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse stands on a dramatic headland east of Seal Rocks village. Completed in 1875, it is the first lighthouse designed by colonial architect James Barnet and one of only two towers in Australia with an external stairway. It was originally built to guide ships along the rocky coastline, after a number of incidents, including the shipwrecking of the SS Catterthun and the Rainbow. Despite the coast being illuminated by the lighthouse, 20 wrecks have occurred since the lighthouse was built.

Below the lighthouse are the Lighthouse Keepers' quarters and outbuildings that have been refurbished to offer holiday accommodation for visitors. On the grassy slopes next to the lookout point and cliff edge, you'll see three memorials dedicated to people associated with the lighthouse.

Pass through coastal rainforest to scenic views of Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse on this lovely walk. Take the sidetrack to Treachery Beach for a swim, surf or a spot of fishing.

Treachery Headland walking track offers impressive views of Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse, the rocky headland and the coastline. It’s a short walk, taking you on a journey through the park’s coastal rainforest. You’ll pass a giant fig tree with intricate buttress roots before reaching the grassy headland where stunning views await.

A sidetrack off the main one will take you down to the white sands of the secluded Treachery Beach. It’s a great spot for fishing and surfing.

The former Mining Road was constructed as an access road when the area was being mined for heavy mineral sands like rutile and zircon, before the establishment of Myall Lakes National Park.

Today, the Mining Road fire trail joins with the Old Gibber Road fire trail to make a popular day or overnight ride within the park. The trail starts at Seal Rocks Road, travelling along the former Mining Road for 10 kilometres through coastal forest to a swampy area that is known as ‘The Moors’. If you're riding in spring you'll see stunning wildflowers and you're bound to see lots of birds.

The route then joins up with the Old Gibber Road fire trail for another 10 kilometres, finishing at Boomeri campground. Other camping options along the way include Shelly beach campground and Johnsons Beach campground.

Blueys Beach is a famous beach located in the beautiful Pacific Palms precinct with great surfing, swimming and stunning views across to Seal Rocks.

Legend has it the beach gained its name from a misadventure by a local cow. Cows can still be spotted on the southern headland.

There are no lifeguards at this beach. Public amenities are located to the south of the beach at Williams Park.

With its stunning views across to Seal Rocks this is the perfect beach for those wanting a beach wedding.
