All about Seal Rocks
A tiny coastal settlement surrounded by the verdant Myall Lakes National Park, Seal Rocks is one of the jewels of the Barrington Coast. Visitors are drawn to this corner of the Mid North Coast of New South Wales year-round for its beautiful beaches, remote surf breaks, superb snorkelling and diving, good fishing, and easy access to the national park.
Seal Rocks is also famous for its 1875 lighthouse — one of only two lighthouse towers in Australia with an external stairway — at Sugarloaf Point that overlooks wild beaches and the cluster of offshore rocky outcrops that gave the town its name. While the local population of Australian fur seals is not as robust as it was in the 19th century, locals have reported an increase in seal sightings in recent years. With no supermarket and only one cafe in town, you’ll need to stock up on supplies on your way here.
