Broadwater National Park is part of a system of coastal national parks which protect important conservation features typical of the north coast of New South Wales, including plant communities such as wet and dry heathland, eucalypt forest and woodland. The park supports more that 360 species of animals, including 48 threatened species, and is an important area for migratory shorebirds that feed and/or roost on the sandy beaches, estuaries, lagoons and rock platforms during their annual migrations.

Broadwater National Park also includes sites of spiritual significance and of contemporary importance to the local Aboriginal community.
