The park contains a wide diversity of animal life. A number of mammal species, including [[microbat]]s, [[greater glider]]s and other [[marsupial]]s are found in the Park. Reptile species present include [[lace monitor]]s, [[Dendrelaphis punctulatus|green tree snake]]s and [[Australian water dragon|water dragons]].

The marine component of the Park has similarly high biodiversity. The marine extension of the park was found to have led to a 70% increase in fish numbers in the area than nearby comparators, and 60% higher numbers of species. A number of large mammals regularly frequent the area, including [[humpback whale]]s, [[southern right whale]]s and [[bottlenose dolphins|bottlenose]] and [[common dolphin]]s. [[Leopard seals]] and [[fur seals]] have occasionally been seen on coastal rock platforms.<ref>{{cite book |author=The Bouddi Society |title=The Bouddi Peninsula: a very special place |page=75 |date=2010 |isbn=9780958089739}}</ref>
