About Arakoon
Arakoon National Park is a compact but ecologically significant protected area located on Trial Bay on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, approximately 6 kilometres south of South West Rocks. Encompassing around 436 hectares, the park includes stunning coastal headlands, secluded beaches, coastal heath, and subtropical rainforest remnants. The historic Trial Bay Gaol, built from local granite between 1877 and 1903, stands within the park as a significant heritage landmark. The park offers excellent fishing, swimming, snorkelling, whale watching, and bushwalking in a scenic coastal setting typical of the New South Wales north coast.
