What to see & do in South Durras
Just ten minutes off the highway but a whole world away, South Durras is the gateway to Murramarang National Park and home to Durras Lake. Regarded as one of the purest estuaries on the east coast, Durras Lake is protected by an untouched forest catchment and is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature.
To truly appreciate this spectacular area, visit the Murramarang National Park and embark on one of the walking trails. Beautiful spotted gums run down to the sea, growing on steep slopes and contrasting against the dark green burrawangs, while the cliffs and headlands on the coast are home to hidden sea caves and sandy beaches. Keep an eye out for a variety of birds and wildlife – kangaroos and wallabies love Murramarang National Park.
Kayaking adventures await on the lake or in the sea and secluded beaches beckon – the only footprints on the sand may be your own. The pristine waterways of South Durras are protected by the Batemans Marine Park, but you can still enjoy all the fun that comes with the water. Fishing, crabbing and prawning are fun activities for the whole family and offer the chance to get in touch with nature, and maybe a tasty dinner!
Much of the accommodation in South Durras is surrounded by National Park. There's plenty to choose from - cottages, award-winning camping, caravan parks with swanky cabins - and a resort which can boast the lot.
