Booti Booti National Park — Attraction in Booti Booti

Booti Booti is a Worimi Aboriginal word meaning “plenty of honey.” Booti Booti National Park sits on an 8km peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and beautiful Wallis Lake, near Forster. Explore the beaches, walking tracks, lookouts, and coastal rainforest on a day trip or camp overnight.

Scenically located between the coast and a tranquil lake, on the NSW mid-north coast, Booti Booti National Park takes in scenic headlands, beautiful beaches, refreshing rainforest, and 11km of estuarine foreshore. The name comes from “butibuti,” the local Worimi Aboriginal word meaning “plenty of honey.”

What a fantastic spot! It is a bit of a walk down a steep hill. According to the signage, it is a Stage 3 walk out of 5 so you do need to be somewhat fit to navigate down and back. It’s the back that is the hardest.

Once you make it through the forest, over a little creek and through the scrub, you’ll be greeted by a secluded beach, McBrides Beach.

Chill as the waves lap the shoreline, go for a wander around the rocks or relax in a small but shady little cave on the north end.

We saw blue bottles so be careful.

Definitely worth a visit if...
