Seven Mile Beach is a national park in New South Wales (Australia),[1] 110 km southwest of Sydney.

It consists of tidal flats, islands and a coastal sand barrier built from river silt in the Shoalhaven River delta. It is important areas for migratory waders and sea birds and protects a large littoral rainforest.[2] The wettest month of the year is March, and the driest is September. The average temperature ranges from 17 to 25 degrees Celsius.[3]

There are great opportunities for bird watchers. They can observe king parrots, rainbow lorikeets, rosellas, wrens, New Holland honeyeaters and brown cuckoo doves.[4]
