A Coastal Escape: Newland Head Conservation Park

Newland Head Conservation Park is a picturesque coastal reserve situated on the Fleurieu Peninsula, approximately 91 kilometres south of Adelaide, South Australia. Renowned for its stunning coastline, the park offers a haven for nature enthusiasts, with opportunities for birdwatching, surfing, and fishing. As a significant section of the Wild South Coast Way, it provides a gateway to experiencing the region’s natural beauty.

The park encompasses the expansive Waitpinga and Parsons beaches, backed by dramatic cliffs and mallee heath. A network of walks, bushwalks, and hikes wind through the park, offering breathtaking panoramas of Waitpinga Creek, Encounter Marine Park, the Pages, and Kangaroo Island. Visitors can immerse themselves in the coastal environment, exploring the rolling sand dunes and rugged cliffs.

For those seeking an overnight adventure, Waitpinga Campground and Natunyu­ru Ngawan­thi (Sand Dunes campground) provide camping facilities amidst the sounds of the ocean. It’s important to note that due to strong currents, swimming is not recommended at the park’s beaches.
