- Park is easiest explored by car - the Wyrrabalong Lookout car park on Ocean View Drive avoids a long walk from The Entrance.
- Visit at half-tide to see the best rock-pooling and shorebird activity along the northern headland.
- Take binoculars for raptor-watching; white-bellied sea-eagles and ospreys are regular overhead.
- Start at the Wyrrabalong Lookout and walk the coastal path toward Norah Head for the best sea views.
