Beowa National Park, formerly Ben Boyd National Park, is a national park in New South Wales, Australia, 578 km (359 mi)[2] south of Sydney. It was established in 1971 and officially renamed in 2022 owing to its previous namesake's connection with blackbirding. Beowa means "orca", an animal of significance to the traditional owners, the Thaua people.
The park forms part of the Ulladulla to Merimbula Important Bird Area.
