Coffin Bay National Park — Attraction in Coffin Bay

Experienced campers only! But amazing place to stay. There were many bees while we were there, so consider that, if you don't like them, or have an allergy. We worked out how to live with them, but they were everywhere and over everything. My partner spat one out of his mouth after having drunk it.I had looked online for any bugs to be aware of but no-one had posted anything about any kind of bug.

The beaches in the park’s very north are extraordinary but seldom visited, and you’ll need a high clearance 4WD to get there, crossing epic...

This National Park is well worth a visit. You'll need to have a 4WD to get to every place worth seeing in the park. Drive slowly as a lot of wildlife will come darting out of the bushes - mainly emus (often with their young) and kangaroos. The sand dunes are a lot of fun near the beaches - just follow the flags so you don't get lost. Sand can be very soft in places so let your tyre pressure down. At some of the beaches, there can be dangerous currents and slippery rocks. Also take care along the cliffs because they can have unstable surfaces in places. We spent a half day there and thoroughly...
