Coastal zone
The area of Windy Harbour coastal zone was studied before it became part of the national park.

Settlement
The history of the settlement is tied in with the forestry communities inland from the harbour and the rock lobster fishing industry.

The area was also the location of coastal fishing huts, which have been at times removed due to their not being approved by local authorities.
