Coastal marine park of rocky islands, kelp beds and clear water—ideal for seascapes, island silhouettes, surf, and underwater/marine life shots. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and long exposures; late winter–spring offers clearer water and migrating whales. Access via Coffs Harbour Marina; park entry free but boat/kayak needed to reach islands. Parking at Marina Drive; check local tide and permit rules for dive/boat operators. Expect variable weather and strong sun midday.
