Batemans Bay Marine Park is zoned to protect marine biodiversity while supporting a wide range of recreational and commercial activities. The zoning map specifically prohibits commercial trawling and dredging in the marine park. These beautiful waters are home to a very diverse range of marine life and habitats, including dolphins, seals, sharks and rays. This makes for some very exciting marine activities; at Montague Island you can even snorkel with the seals!

Kayaking is popular throughout the park as a great way to explore the waters and see some of the fantastic coastline scenery. Even if you don't fancy getting in the water, there are lots of charming walks available along the water's edge.
