Wildlife
Pebbly Beach is within
Murramarang National Park, so there is abundant wildlife around the beach and cabins.
The hills surrounding Pebbly Beach are covered with extensive forests. The forests are home to a great variety of animals and colourful birds. Pebbly Beach is one of the best places in Australia to see kangaroos.
Dolphins are often seen playing close to shore near the rock platforms or beach.
During whale watching seasons humpback whales and southern right whales are often seen close to Pebbly Beach. For the whole of June and the first week of July the whales are migrating north along the New South Wales Coast. They return south from September to November. Often they can be seen quite close to shore at Pebbly. Look for the plume of spray as the whales surface after a dive.

Note: Please do not feed the wildlife.
Human food is not the natural diet of native animals and birds and can make them sick ... and remember kangaroos are wild animals. |
