Attractions

The Manning Entrance State Park is situated on the NSW Mid North Coast and comprises lands surrounding and including the Manning River's southern entrance at Old Bar. The 487 hectare site runs from Old Bar to the southern side of the Manning River's northern entrance at Manning Point and features a caravan park, primitive camping ground, sporting fields and historic airstrip. The foreshores of the coastal beaches and estuary provide an array of year round recreation and tourism opportunities while the protected tracts of littoral rainforests and other significant native vegetation provide habitat for many species of native fauna and flora. Over recent years the lands at Old Bar Spit, Farquhar Inlet, Farquhar Spit and Manning Point have been one of the most successful breeding and fledgling sites in the State for the Migratory and Endangered Shorebird - the Little Tern (Sterna albifrons).
