Malabar Headland National Park Park

Malabar Headland National Park is a coastal national park on the Malabar headland in New South Wales, Australia. It protects stretches of coastline and remnant coastal vegetation within Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Coastal walking tracks, coastal heath and cliff-top viewpoints provide ocean outlooks and opportunities for short walks. The park is primarily visited for natural coastal scenery and informal recreation rather than developed facilities.

The headland has a history of varied uses prior to its protection, and parts of the area include heritage elements associated with earlier land uses. Management has focused on conserving coastal vegetation and providing controlled public access.

Located on the Malabar headland near the suburbs of Malabar and Maroubra, the park lies within the Sydney metropolitan area on the southeastern coast of New South Wales.

The headland is on Sydney’s southern headlands near the suburbs of Malabar and Maroubra. It is accessible by local roads and by bus from central Sydney, followed by a short walk to trailheads.

• Check for designated fishing and surf-spotting areas-some headland sections are hazardous.
• Bring sun protection and plenty of water; coastal winds can mask the sun's intensity.
• The coastal walks offer good whale-watching opportunities in season-consult local guides for timing.
