Flowering heaths, quiet beaches and abundant wildlife make this park a place to retreat and relax. Several walking tracks provide excellent opportunities to explore diverse coastal habitats.

Covering 26,055 hectares the park protects the largest and least disturbed coastal plains in South East Queensland.

The park’s wetland areas are of national significance with tidal wetland areas also supporting habitat critical for Hervey Bay’s recreational and commercial fishing species.

A wide diversity of plant and animal communities occur here including mangrove-lined riverbanks, wallum heath with spectacular wildflowers and tea tree dominated wetlands where huge cabbage palms reach through the canopy. Areas of deeper soil support eucalypt forests, including the vulnerable Goodwood gum Eucalyptus hallii.

Burrum Coast National Park is the perfect place to appreciate the splendour and peace of the natural environment.
