Boating
The Solitary Islands Marine Park offers magnificent boating. Boats often enter the park from Coffs Harbour marina.
Most of the park's 75 km stretch of coastline borders national parks, nature reserves or a regional park.
Some of the state's most pristine estuaries are found in the park's northern section. Boating here is excellent.
- Surrounded by Yuraygir National Park, the estuaries are home to a range of marine and bird life.
- The mangrove forests, the sheltered bays and the untouched riverine environment are best explored by canoe or kayak.
