Introducing Hat Head National Park
This coastal park of 6500 hectares runs north from near Hat Head to Smoky Cape (south of Arakoon), protecting scrubland, swamps and some excellent beaches backed by significant dune systems. Bird life is prolific on the wetlands. Rising up from the generally flat landscape is Hungry Hill, near Hat Head, and sloping Hat Head itself, where there’s a walking track.

Surrounded by the national park, the village of Hat Head is much smaller and quieter than Crescent Head. Hat Head Holiday Park (02-6567 7501; camp sites/cabins $16/60) is close to a beautiful sheltered bay. You can camp (per person $3) at Hungry Head, 5km south of Hat Head. There are pit toilets but no showers or water.
The park is accessible from the hamlet of Kinchela, on the road between Kempsey and South West Rocks.
