About Coffin Bay National Park
Coffin Bay National Park is a coastal national park on the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, about 45 km west of Port Lincoln. Proclaimed in 1982, it covers around 309 sq km of peninsula, islands and marine waters. It is notable for its dramatic limestone cliffs, vast white sand dunes, sheltered bays and long surf beaches, and for protecting important coastal wilderness, wildlife habitats and Aboriginal heritage landscapes.
