Arakoon National Park

Arakoon National Park sits on the edge of the Mid North Coast, just east of South West Rocks, and is best known for its rugged coastline and strong connection to the area’s history. The park combines headlands, beaches, and open coastal views in a way that feels raw and largely untouched.

The coastline here is dramatic, with walking tracks that follow the cliffs and offer clear views out over the ocean. These tracks are easy to access and give a real sense of how exposed this stretch of coast can be, particularly when the sea is active.

One of the park’s key landmarks is Trial Bay Gaol, which sits within the park boundary and adds an important historical layer to the landscape. The contrast between the old stone ruins and the surrounding coastline makes it a standout feature of the area.

Smokey Cape Lighthouse stands high above the coastline near South West Rocks and is one of the most striking landmarks on the Mid North Coast. Sitting on a steep headland, it offers sweeping views over the ocean and surrounding bushland, with the sense of height making the coastline feel especially dramatic. The short walk to the lighthouse is well worth it, particularly on clear days when the visibility stretches endlessly along the coast.
