Another ‘well managed’ park from NSW National Parks if you like forests of invasive weeds on barren former industrial wasteland To top it off, despite being next to a large suburb, as well as a quarry, NSW National Parks for “environmental protection” mandate a no dogs policy. What a joke - if you have a dog, or can’t stand seeing out of control lantana, do not come.

Often walk in this park while we're staying in Shell Cove area. There are several different paths, feeling so close to nature... plenty of birds, a lot of black swans in the Lagoon, saw whales numerous times, and also saw two black snakes so be aware! There are picnic tables, restroom near the main entrance area. Absolutely love hiking in this park!

Killalea Regional Park is a coastal sanctuary tucked between the beaches of Shell Cove and Kiama on New South Wales’ stunning South Coast. Spread across dramatic headlands, rolling hills, and pristine surf beaches, this park is a paradise for nature lovers, surfers, and families alike. The star attraction is The Farm—a world‑class left‑hand point break revered by surfers nationwide. When the swell lines up, it creates long, clean rides that draw experienced wave riders seeking that classic South Coast barrel. Nearby Killalea Beach, also known as Mystics, offers gentler waves and safe swimming—perfect for less confident surfers, bodysurfers, or beachgoers wanting to soak up the sun without crowds. Walking trails wind through coastal heathland and dunes, offering scenic loops that capture wide ocean views and vibrant native vegetation. Wildflowers and birdlife are abundant during spring and autumn, making these times especially rewarding for photographers and hikers. Camping is available at Killalea’s camping ground, set amidst grassy paddocks shaded by native trees. Sites are generous and family‑friendly, with basic facilities including toilets, cold showers, and picnic shelter areas. Evenings are best spent gathering around a campfire while listening to ocean waves echoing in the distance. Despite its natural beauty, the park remains relaxed and unpretentious—no theme park ride here, just unspoiled coast, friendly locals, and a laid‑back atmosphere. Whether you’re chasing waves, pitching a tent for a night under the stars, or simply immersing yourself in coastal wilderness, Killalea Regional Park delivers a refreshing escape from city life.

Stunning views with two of the nicest beaches. It's worth the drive from Sydney. The hills are perfect for picnicking or sitting while enjoying the views. The night sky is lit up with stars after Sunset.
