Coffin Bay National Park

The park encompasses 31,000 hectares of coastal territory with limestone cliffs, sandy beaches, and protected bays along the Southern Ocean.

Matthew Flinders documented the area during his 1802 maritime expedition, naming it after Sir Isaac Coffin before whaling operations began in the region.

The Barngarla and Nauo people maintained deep connections to this land, using its abundant natural resources for sustenance over numerous generations.

While Yangie Bay remains accessible by standard vehicles, the northern sections of the park require four-wheel drive vehicles for navigation.

The marine waters contain extensive populations of oysters and shellfish that thrive among the limestone formations and coastal vegetation.
