This 10,260 hectare national park is renowned for its colourful and rugged coastline, produced as a result of extensive geological folding in the area, as well as the tower which was originally erected as a lighthouse, although only used as a lookout and whale watching area. In all some 30 km of coastline is protected within the park.

Access to the northern section of the park is via Haycock Rd which leaves the Princes Hwy 8 km north of Eden. Access to the southern section is via Edrom Rd which leads off from the Princes Hwy 18km south of Eden.
