explore national parks The parks range from rocky coastal islands to the mainland with windswept cli"s and sweeping beaches exposed to the might of the Southern Ocean. This contrasts with the tranquil waters and shores of the bays with spectacular sand dunes and extensive heathlands that give way to dense mallee and remnant sheoak woodland, once the domain of the glossy-black cockatoos. Co!n Bay National Park, which includes the Whidbey Wilderness Area, takes in the Co!n Bay Peninsula and is the largest park on the Eyre Peninsula, at approximately 31,000 hectares. Many beaches and headlands in this park o"er excellent #shing opportunities, but be aware of the unstable cli"s and dangerous seas of the Southern Ocean, with its strong rips, large swells, and freak waves. This park is home to an abundance of birds, wildlife, and wild&owers, many of which are native species. There are 20 kilometres of sealed road from the entrance to such picturesque places as Point Avoid, Almonta Beach, and the Yangie Bay campground. 6 visitco!nbay.com.au/co!n-bay-national-park
