Cape Conran Coastal Park, Nature reserve in East Gippsland, Australia.

Cape Conran Coastal Park is an 11,700-hectare coastal park declared in 1997 under Victoria's National Parks Act 1975, near Marlo in East Gippsland. Much of it is heathland and banksia woodland, with the Yeerung River estuary and day-walk destinations such as Dock Inlet and Pearl Point.

The park was established in 1997 to protect the natural habitats and ecological balance of this coastal region. This decision recognized the importance of safeguarding the diverse species that depend on these landscapes.

Cape Conran lies in the country of the Kurnai (Gunai/Kurnai) peoples of East Gippsland, not the Gunditjmara, whose country is in western Victoria. The park's walking tracks pass middens and other traces of long-standing Aboriginal use of the coast, and the banksia heath that draws nectar-feeding birds also drew people to these resources.

The park has multiple camping areas with basic facilities like toilets and outdoor showers for visitor use. Wear sturdy shoes as trails cross varied terrain, and pack layers since coastal weather can change quickly.

Between May and October, migrating whales pass by the coast, and you might spot rare creatures like Lace Monitors, Southern Brown Bandicoots, and Long-nosed Potoroos. This season offers the best chance to see the wildlife that calls this coastline home.
