Tips for Visiting Seven Mile Beach National Park #
- Enter the park via the Shoalhaven/Berry side for easier parking access rather than attempting to park at the busiest beach carparks.
- Sunset is the photographic prize-arrive 45-60 minutes before sunset to walk the dunes and secure a view unspoiled by latecomers.
- The coastal heath is home to nesting shorebirds in spring; keep dogs leashed and stay on designated tracks during breeding season (check signage).
