Beowa National Park, Nature reserve in Bega Valley Shire Council, Australia.
Beowa National Park is a nature reserve on the New South Wales coast with cliffs, forests, and sandy beaches. It spreads across two main sections: the Pambula-Haycock area between Merimbula and Eden, and the Green Cape area with its working lighthouse.
The park was formerly called Ben Boyd but was renamed Beowa to honor the original Aboriginal connections to this land. This change reflects the growing recognition of the deep ties Indigenous peoples had to these coastal areas.
Aboriginal shell middens scattered throughout the north show how Indigenous people have connected with this coastline for generations. Visitors walking here can see these remains and sense the deep roots communities have in this place.
The park is divided into two distinct sections that visitors can explore separately or combine in a trip. Spring months from September to November offer the best chance to see migrating whales passing close to the coast.
The Light to Light walking track links multiple viewpoints along the coast, each revealing different landscapes and ecosystems. The path passes through surprisingly varied terrain, from dense forest to open cliffs overlooking the water.
