Harrington Beach State Park is nestled on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, a true gem for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Spanning 431 hectares, this stunning area stretches from the charming town of Harrington all the way to the quaint fishing village of Crowdy Head. The park's location around the northern entrance of the Manning River makes it a hotspot for year-round recreational activities and tourism.
Imagine strolling along the scenic coastal beaches or exploring the estuary, where there's always something fun to do, from fishing to picnicking with friends. The park isn't just about the beaches, though. It also boasts a delightful littoral rainforest that's open to the public. This small, enchanting forest offers a peaceful retreat where you can lose yourself in the whispering leaves and the call of native birds.
A visit to Harrington Beach State Park is not complete without a stop at Crowdy Head. This picturesque village is famous for its historic lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of the coastline and is a perfect spot for capturing breathtaking photos. If you're lucky, you might even spot migrating whales during the right season. Whether you're a local or a traveler, this park is a treasure trove of natural beauty waiting to be discovered.
