Experience the raw beauty and rich maritime history of the Sapphire Coast at Boydtown Beach Holiday Park. Nestled on the southern shores of Twofold Bay, this expansive park boasts over a kilometre of absolute beach frontage, offering guests uninterrupted views across the sparkling blue waters towards the township of Eden. Boydtown is a place where the bush meets the sea, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life while serving as a prime location for some of Australia’s best whale watching and coastal exploration.
The park is steeped in colonial heritage, sitting adjacent to the magnificent Seahorse Inn, a boutique hotel built in the 1840s by Benjamin Boyd. This unique proximity allows campers to enjoy the best of both worlds: the rugged, authentic experience of beachside camping and the refined luxury of a historic pub and brasserie just a short stroll away. Whether you are enjoying a cold ale on the patio of the Inn or casting a line into the surf directly from your campsite, the atmosphere at Boydtown is one of timeless relaxation.
For the active traveller, Boydtown Beach Holiday Park is a gateway to adventure. The calm waters of Twofold Bay are ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming, while the surrounding Ben Boyd National Park (now known as Beowa National Park) offers some of the most spectacular coastal hiking trails in New South Wales. The park itself is designed with space and comfort in mind, featuring extra-large sites that cater perfectly to big rigs and families who appreciate a bit of room to move. Modern amenities, clean camp kitchens, and a mini-farm for the kids ensure that every member of the family is well-looked after.
Fishing enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise here. Twofold Bay is renowned for its abundance of marine life, and the park’s direct beach access makes it easy to try your luck at surf fishing. Alternatively, the nearby boat ramps provide easy access for those looking to explore the deeper waters of the bay. From the historic ruins of the Boyd’s Tower to the world-class Killer Whale Museum in Eden, the area is packed with attractions that celebrate the deep connection between the land and the sea. A stay at Boydtown Beach Holiday Park is not just a holiday; it is an immersion into one of the most beautiful and historic pockets of the Australian coastline.
