Admiral's Arch and Remarkable Rocks survived the devastating 2020 bushfires, and the park has bounced back amazingly well. Must see. The seal colony at Admiral's Arch is wonderful & the setting is gorgeous!

This park helped to care for koalas burnt in the 2020 bushfires. You'll see a range of native animals and maybe even one of the koala patients.

Drive around the jetty and a bit further on to Point Ellen to take in views across the bay. Just before you get to the jetty, on your left, there's a sheltered beach where we like to swim.
