Beachport Conservation Park

Smooth white sandy beaches are punctuated by rough weathered limestone cliffs offering outstanding coastal scenery. This 710 hectare park protects sand dunes and coastal vegetation between Lake George and the Southern Ocean.

While exploring the vast wilderness you will be transformed in time by the frequent remnants of the Aboriginal occupation sites. The Boandik Aboriginal people lived in the area for thousands of years. The rich land and sea was a bountiful provider of food and visitors will easily stumble across heaps or 'middens' of the discarded remains of shellfish along the coastline.

Flora and FaunaThe park was first set aside to conserve habitat for birds. The wealth of native species is outstanding! Small birds frequent the quiet and sheltered areas of the park, especially in summer. While waterbirds, including swans and black duck, are often seen on the lakes.

Take the Jack and Hilda McArthur Walk around Woolley Lake to read the many informative name plates alongside the different plants you will encounter.
