Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse is perched above the tiny, sleepy fishing village of Seal Rocks and nestled in the northern corner of Myall Lakes National Park. It is 3 hours north of Sydney and 40 minutes south of Forster on the mid north coast of New South Wales. This idyllic area offers a moderate climate of warm summer seas and cool summer breezes, sunny winter days and cosy winter nights.
The site offers expansive vistas of coastline from Crowdy Head in the north to Port Stephens in the south. Its secluded location offers pristine beaches, azure seas, protected marine wildlife environments, wondrous rockpools, a mythological blowhole, breathtaking rainforest and coastal walks. Surrounding Sugarloaf Point are the popular tourist areas of Pacific Palms and Myall Lakes, which offer nearby facilities to this otherwise piece of isolated paradise.
The Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse precinct offers 3 self-contained heritage cottages nestled on the hill below the lightstation. Built in 1875, they offer newly restored and beautifully appointed old world charm with modern conveniences. Each cottage has an abundance of outdoor space in which to enjoy the breathtaking panoramas. There is one 3 bedroom cottage and two 2 bedroom cottages,
The immediate vicinity of Seal Rocks offers clear bays for swimming, snorkelling, boating and fishing. There's memorable diving at local shipwrecks and grey nurse habitats. Below the lighthouse to the south you'll find great surf at Lighthouse Beach. From the point you will be perfectly positioned to watch dolphins surfing the waves and migrating humpback whales. The coastal dunes offer bushwalking, birdwatching, rivers and lagoons, as well as historic aboriginal and early settlers' sites.
