Hyams Beach

So many to see and explore in this national park incl. one of the most beautiful beaches (in my view) i.e Murray beach where you might see seals & dolphin playing in shallow water. Bring a picnic basket and you can spend whole day there. Ensure you grab a map from the information centre to plan your day. The admission will give you 2 days entry to the park.
