Burrum Coast National Park

The Burrum Coast National Park extends across coastal wetlands, mangroves, and sandy beaches, creating diverse environments for native species at 5 meters above sea level.

The declaration of this protected area in 1994 marked a major step in Queensland's conservation efforts, with subsequent expansion of the park boundaries in 2008.

The lands within Burrum Coast National Park hold deep connections to Indigenous Australian communities who maintained traditional practices in this coastal region.

Visitors can access multiple walking trails throughout the park, with facilities for birdwatching, fishing, and nature observation along the coastline.

The park's combination of mangrove systems and coastal wetlands creates specialized habitats where numerous migratory bird species gather during seasonal movements.
