Garig Gunak Barlu National Park

The park covers 4,500 square kilometers of coastal lands, including mangroves, estuaries, monsoon forests, and pristine white sand beaches along the northern coast.

The area transformed into Garig Gunak Barlu National Park in 2000 through the combination of Gurig National Park and Cobourg Marine Park territories.

The Black Point Cultural Centre presents exhibits detailing the interconnected histories of Aboriginal, Macassan, and European peoples in this northern region.

Visitors require permits and must bring sufficient food, water, and fuel supplies, as the park operates exclusively during the dry season from May to October.

The park serves as a habitat for six species of marine turtles, including green sea, hawksbill, flatback, leatherback, and olive ridley varieties.
