Saltwater National Park is a small coastal reserve found at the end of Salt Water Road - turn off the Pacific Highway at the southern roundabout to Taree and head along Old Bar Road, follow the sign towards Wallabi Point and Salt Water. This is a great spot for a picnic as the reserve is surrounded by rainforest and has plenty of shade as well as clean toilet facilities. This reserve is just a short walk to the beach and backs onto Khappinghat Creek for fishing, canoeing, kayaking or swimming.
When we visited Saltwater Reserve this year were were quite surprised to see that the entrance to the ocean was open - this has helped to flush the waters of Khappinghat Creek and create a better fishing environment.
It's a popular seasonal camping spot for local Aboriginal people, with some lovely grassed and shady spots scattered throughout the reserve. Saltwater Beach is a popular surfing spot and the car parking area at the entrance to the reserve is a great place to watch the action. At certain times of the year you can spot humpback whales on their annual migration - of course you may also see dolphins surfing the waves, sea eagles, and brush turkeys. This is a lovely little spot and well worth a visit when holiday in the area.
