Canunda National Park

Canunda National Park is a national park in South Australia. Located 18 kilometres from Millicent and 428 kilometres Southeast of Adelaide, It features diverse coastal habitats.

Canunda National Park features limestone cliffs, coastal dunes and natural bushland. Millicent is the closest town to the Park, which lies between the Southern Ocean and Lake Bonney. Therefore, the Park provides beautiful views of the coastline. Most of the area is accessible only to walkers and 4WD vehicles.

The Park offers great opportunities to enjoy bird watching, bushwalking, surfing and snorkelling. The Park’s coastline consists of spectacular cliffs and surf beaches. The park’s northern section is characterized by sea stacks, limestone cliffs, low, dense scrub, offshore reefs, and stretches of the beach, which are backed by sand dunes. Throughout the park, you can see evidence of Boandik people, who once lived in temporary camps along the coast.

The forty-kilometre-long coastline offers ample fishing opportunities. Please beware that sharks and stingrays are sometimes in the water depending on the season, so swimmers must be vigilant with water safety. You can try your luck near the rocks where abalone or crayfish might be found.

Camping and trekking are also allowed in the park, and several campgrounds are in the area. However, you must follow strict park guidelines.

Take a trip to Canunda National Park and be at home with nature. Don’t forget to bring your fishing rod.
