Booti Booti National Park is a narrow, 8-kilometre-long peninsula situated between the Pacific Ocean and Wallis Lake in New South Wales. The park protects a diverse ecosystem ranging from littoral rainforests and eucalypt forests to sandy coastal dunes. The name Booti Booti is derived from the local Worimi Aboriginal word 'buti buti', referring to the area's native woodlands. A primary feature is the 6.5-kilometre Booti Hill walking track, which connects the seaside village of Elizabeth Beach to Seven Mile Beach. The peninsula serves as a vital wildlife corridor and habitat for various bird species, including sea eagles and honeyeaters. Visitors can access multiple secluded surf beaches along the eastern coastline. The park area is flanked by the expansive Wallis Lake to the west, providing calm water alternatives to the ocean. There is no vehicle access to the interior of the park, ensuring the preservation of the landscape.
