Part of Bateau Bay is covered by the southern 140 ha section of [[Wyrrabalong National Park]]. A feature of the park's coastal cliffs are extensive rock platforms, which are good bases for rock fishing or low tide exploration. Wyrrabalong National Park is a haven for marine, bird, and native wildlife, which include [[goannas]], [[bandicoots]], fantails, and the [[tawny frogmouth]]. A 1.6 km walk through Wyrrabalong National Park links Crackneck Point Lookout and Forresters Beach.
