Coffin Bay National Park

Coffin Bay National Park is on a peninsula located on the larger Fyre Peninsula in South Australia.  The national park encompasses an area of 119.6 square miles (309.76 sq km).

The Coffin Bay Peninsula accounts for the majority of the national park boundaries.  The park features limestone cliffs, white sandy beaches, coral reefs, islands in the bay, sand dunes, and even some swampland.  The park provides picturesque coastal landscapes that might be expected as well as rugged scenes that invite exploration.

Point Avoid gives access to both surfing and a coral reef.  Yangie Bay provides opportunities for camping, but when you venture further north you will need RTVs.  There is a fish sanctuary located in Yangie Bay helping to nurture and protect fish species to populate the area.  Fishing is not allowed but you can explore these waters by kayak.

Seagulls, pelicans, ospreys, albatrosses, and the white-bellied sea eagle are some of the bird species that birdwatchers can hope to see.  There are groups working to bring back some of the endemic species for another chance to be protected and thrive in the park.

Wildlife includes some typical Australian species such as the kangaroos, joeys, emus, and goannas.  There are many different reef species of fish for those that venture into the water.
