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.”

Plenty is certainly a common theme here – plenty of hiking, swimming, birdwatching, and whale watching in the winter as they migrate along the coast. There are plenty of opportunities to settle down in a picnic spot beneath the paperbarks, and plenty of surfing and mountain biking for the young at heart.

The beaches are an enduring favourite, with families and sun-lovers turning weekends into energetic gatherings. Add in terrific driving tours and some truly stunning lookouts like the one at Cape Hawke, and you have a park that appeals across the board. Booti Booti has plenty for everyone.

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 you’re in Forster

Relatively small park with sea on one slide and lake on the other. Has a couple of very good camping grounds around. We stayed at Ruins Campground which is a top designation for camping with kids. Nice and quite beach good for playing in water or on schore. Were luck to see a whale early morning.

Really beautiful national park with amazing scenery, beaches, and coastal villages. Sugarloaf lighthouse was a real highlight and the lakes walks were a wonder if nature.
