Black Rocks, known as Mibanbah in the Bundjalung language, is a secluded beachside camping and snorkeling area within Bundjalung National Park on the NSW North Coast. Set behind coastal dunes among tuckeroo and banksia woodland, the site fronts the wild expanse of Ten Mile Beach and sits adjacent to the tea-tree-lined Jerusalem Creek. The creek mouth where it meets the ocean offers a protected, shallow snorkeling zone with sandy patches and seagrass beds, while the adjacent beach provides open-water swimming. The remote setting, quiet atmosphere, and easy access from the campground make it an excellent base for exploring clear north-coast waters.

Moderate risk: Rip currents and unpatrolled beach
Ten Mile Beach is an unpatrolled, open-ocean beach with occasional strong rips and dumping waves. Swim only at the protected creek mouth.
Low risk: Tidal outflow at creek mouth
The creek mouth and ocean conditions can shift dramatically with the tide, creating strong outflow currents when Jerusalem Creek is flowing.
Low risk: Marine stingers / bluebottles
Bluebottles are possible year-round but more frequent during warmer months (Oct–Apr) after northerly winds.
