Malabar Headland, Coastal headland in New South Wales, Australia.
The 177-hectare headland features sandstone cliffs, coastal heathland, and eucalypt woodlands supporting 283 native plant species and 200 bird species.
The site contains World War II fortifications including Boora Point Battery, constructed in 1943 to strengthen coastal defense measures along Australia's shoreline.
Aboriginal rock engravings, grinding grooves, and middens across the headland indicate thousands of years of Indigenous presence and activities in this area.
The area consists of two sections: an eastern coastal portion of 54 hectares and a western section of 17 hectares, connected by walking trails.
The headland contains the last remnants of Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub, forming on Pleistocene sand deposits along the Sydney coastline.
