Stokes National Park
|
|
10,700ha.
Stokes National Park takes in Stokes Inlet, long stretches of beach and rocky promontories with dunes and low hills in the hinterland. The quiet waters of Stokes Inlet, into which the Young and Lort Rivers flow, are good for water sports and fishing, boating and canoeing (but not for sailing because of shallows and underwater rocks), and there are pleasant walks along the ocean beaches. On the shores of the inlet and in the neighboring heath and wetlands there are many species of plants and a rich fauna (particularly water birds).
