Point Labatt

Point Labatt is a coastal headland and conservation park on the western Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, about 40 kilometres southeast of Streaky Bay in the District Council of Streaky Bay. It protects the largest mainland breeding colony of the endangered Australian sea lion. The site is known for its rugged cliffs, ocean views and a dedicated cliff-top viewing platform that allows visitors to observe sea lions on the beach below without disturbing them.

Visitors can expect a remote coastal headland with dramatic cliffs overlooking a sandy beach occupied by Australian sea lions. Viewing is from a fenced cliff-top platform with interpretive signs, accessed by a short walk from the car park. Visitors can observe sea lions resting, swimming and with pups using binoculars, enjoy panoramic ocean views, and experience an isolated natural environment with no shops or beach access.

Point Labatt Conservation Park was proclaimed in 1973 to protect the Australian sea lion colony. The headland is named after J. B. Labatt. The site is recognised as the largest mainland breeding colony of the Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea), an endangered endemic species, and has been a key monitoring and conservation site since the 1970s.

The area lies within the traditional lands of the Wirangu people of the western Eyre Peninsula. The conservation park is of significant ecological and educational value as a protected habitat for the Australian sea lion.
