Exploring
Seal Rocks
New South Wales
Travel to Seal Rocks as a family and never be disappointed.
Seal Rocks is a destination that captured our hearts and became one of our all-time favorite spots. We spent ten blissful days here, and it easily ranks as one of the most beautiful caravan parks we’ve ever visited. The park’s family-friendly atmosphere was a major highlight, with a mix of families ranging from those with babies to teenagers, creating a vibrant and welcoming community.
What made Seal Rocks truly special was the sense of community. Unlike some places where you might feel isolated, here, we met lots of people and felt part of a lively group. The caravan park has been beautifully maintained, with excellent toilet facilities and an amazing camp kitchen that offers stunning views of Seal Rocks beach.
Seal Rocks is a place where time seems to slow down, partly because there’s no phone reception. This lack of connectivity enhances its charm, allowing you to fully unwind and immerse yourself in the natural beauty. The beach is absolutely incredible, offering a variety of spots to explore. If you have a four-wheel drive, you can venture out to discover numerous hidden beaches, which was one of our favorite activities.
Things to do
One of the must-do activities in Seal Rocks is the lighthouse walk, which our boys loved. The trail offers breathtaking views and a bit of adventure. Besides that, spending time at the beach is a top priority. The clear waters and beautiful sands provide endless fun for the whole family.
Keep in mind that the local coffee shop is only open on weekends, so plan accordingly. Due to limited phone reception, it’s wise to transfer any money you might need before arriving. Additionally, stock up on food and supplies before you reach Seal Rocks, as the area has only a small general store.
One other feature that our boys loved was the fighter jets that would fly over head twice a day. We got a real life Top-Gun experiences thanks to the Australian Air Force based in between Nelson’s Bay and Newcastle.
Getting to Seal Rocks
Travel to Seal Rocks as a family should be safe and comfortable. The road into Seal Rocks is pretty tight. So take your time. If coming from the North, it isn’t too bad until turning off the main road.
If head from the South, this is one of the worst stretches of roads we have driven on. Take your time, don’t rush and you’ll be fine.
