About Canunda National Park
Canunda National Park is a coastal national park in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, stretching along the Southern Ocean between Millicent and Carpenter Rocks near Southend in the Wattle Range Council area. Proclaimed in 1959, it protects rugged limestone cliffs, extensive dunes, coastal heath and wetlands. The park is notable for its dramatic shoreline, 4WD coastal tracks, campgrounds, fishing and surfing spots, and habitat for coastal birds and native wildlife.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a rugged, largely undeveloped coastal landscape with long sandy beaches, limestone cliffs, large mobile dunes and coastal scrub. The park is accessed mainly via unsealed 4WD tracks linking several campgrounds and beach access points. Visitors can explore walking trails, beach fishing and surfing areas, birdwatching sites and scenic coastal viewpoints. Facilities are basic and the environment is exposed to wind and surf with few sealed roads or built structures.
