Natural Attractions

Mon Repos Conservation Park is a national park containing an important turtle rookery located at Mon Repos.

The coastal track leads north and south from the Mon Repos Turtle Centre and explores the beach. Heading south from the Mon Repos Turtle Centre along the walking track and you’ll soon arrive at the impressive 1880’s South Sea Islander rock wall. The 1.5 metre high wall stretches for 1.6 kilometre and was built by South Sea Islanders as they cleared rocks from the nearby cane fields.

The track features include saltpans, a tidal lagoon, freshwater ponds, mangroves, remnants of Woongarra rainforest, and coastal scenery. A wide variety of habitats make this park a great place for seeing birdlife, tidal wildlife and other animals. Check tides before setting out as sections of the track can be difficult to access during very high tides.

If it’s low tide when you reach the beach, explore the colourful rock pools for corals, sponges, fish and other marine life.
