The park is 70 km north-east of Rockhampton.[2] The parks encloses 12 km of coastline including four beaches.[3]

To the north of the national park is Shoalwater Bay and Byfield State Forest is located to the west of Byfield National Park.

The park contains a number of four-wheel drive tracks and camping areas.[4]

The average elevation of the terrain in the park is 48 metres.[5]

Climate

The park demarcates the southern boundary of a tropical savannah climate (Köppen: Aw), although the subtropics are almost a degree to the south.[6]

Flora and fauna

The park is home to Pandanus tectorius, a plant useful against coastal erosion and provides important habitat for many insects and animals. Rangers are fighting a destructive pest known as the pandanus planthopper in the park, using various means including the use of a native wasp called Aphanomerus pusillus.[7]

Waterpark Creek, a creek which flows through the park, contains a population of Rhadinocentrus ornatus, a small freshwater fish species.[8]
