Seal Rocks, NSW

Seal Rocks is a small, sleepy and rather isolated beach town south of ForsterTuncurry and 310 km from Sydney. Its fame rests largely on its beautiful lighthouse and the sense of isolation it enjoys. The very ordinary dirt road which separates the town from the main road (Lakes Way) has kept development at bay and there is a strong feeling that the locals are very happy with this barrier to excessive development.

Seal Rocks

Despite resistance to the upgrading of the connecting road change seems inevitable as there are some very real attractions: unspoilt surfing beaches, a noted diving spot, idyllic picnic areas, the nearby Myall Lakes National Park and, most notably, the spectacularly beautiful Seal Rocks lighthouse – officially known as Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse – which overlooks an unspoilt beach and the group of offshore rocky outcrops which give the area its name.
