Killalea Regional Park is a small, 265 hectare coastal park located between Shellharbour and Minnamurra in the Illawarra. Now under the management of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the regional park preserves the remaining undeveloped land of the former farm that was once located here. There are some stunning views of the beaches from the headland, large, grassed open spaces, a saltwater lagoon and remnant rainforests.

This was my first visit to the park, and unfortunately as it was late in the day, I was only able to visit one of the two iconic locations within the park - the famous surfing beach called 'The Farm'. The second is Minnamurra Beach, also known as 'Mystics', and is one that I will one day return to visit.
