Coffin Bay National Park, Eyre Peninsula
Map showing the location of Coffin Bay National Park and others in South Australia: South Australia National Parks.
Occupying a peninsula surrounded by the Great Australian Bight, Coffin Bay NP has wonderful secluded beaches, backed by massive sand dunes or high cliffs as well as calm bays, sheltered from the winds and high surf. A good place for experiencing South Australiaés coastal wilderness, birdlife is abundant as are the spectacular vistas of the ocean and surf.
There are places to visit in the park that are accessible via 2 wheel but much of the peninsula requires travel over 4WD tracks or via foot over walking trails. With two wheel drives, popular spots are Point Avoid, about 18km from the park’s entrance and Yangie Bay, 15km. Other accessible places include Almonta Beach and Golden Island Lookout.
4WD
4WDs with high wheel clearance are neccesary for most of the rest of the Coffin Bay Peninsula. You will need to bring plenty of water, fuel and food.
Walking Trails
There are walking trails that cover much of the park, a number of them following old vehicle tracks, the beaches are also a pleasant walking experience.
