Eurobodalla National Park is a coastal protected area on the south coast of New South Wales within Eurobodalla Shire that conserves beaches, headlands, estuaries and coastal vegetation. The park protects a variety of coastal ecosystems and provides public access to shoreline landscapes.

Headlands and sheltered beaches are the primary attractions, with opportunities for beach walking, birdwatching and headland viewpoints that offer seasonal whale sightings. The park contains a mix of sandy shorelines, rocky outcrops and coastal heath that support marine and shorebird life.

The landscapes have long been significant for local Aboriginal communities and later for coastal settlement and fishing. Over time sections of coastline have been set aside for conservation to protect native vegetation and shore habitats.

The park lies along the south coast of New South Wales, with the nearest service towns including Batemans Bay and Moruya. It is a linear coastal reserve made up of multiple discrete reserves rather than a single compact block.

  • Whale season: Winter months are a good time for coastal whale watching from headlands and beaches when migrating whales pass the south coast of New South Wales.
  • Access: Most access is by road from nearby towns such as Batemans Bay and Moruya; many sites are reached via short coastal roads and parking areas rather than long walks.
