Mon Repos Conservation Park is landward of Woongarra Marine Park, and compliments the special management zoning in the marine park for the turtle nesting areas, and adjacent coastal dunes and waters. [Seemaps]

• From 15 October of any year to 30 April of the succeeding year:

  · No vehicles or domestic animals are allowed on the beach. 
  · Lights are limited to one handheld electric torch (3V max) per person.
