National Parks
Spring is the best time to enjoy our National Parks flourishing with colourful displays of flowers and abundance of wildlife. There are 100 parks on Eyre Peninsula set aside for conservation and visitor enjoyment, without the crowds! Boating, fishing, beachcombing, swimming, bird watching, whale watching and nature walks are all popular activities in the Lincoln National Park. A variety of designated campgrounds in the park offer easy access to the beaches, bays and walking trails. Lincoln National Park overlooks Boston Bay, the largest natural harbour in Australia, with granite headlands, sheltered bays and scenic offshore islands. On the southern side of the park are the massive, wind-sculpted sand dunes of the Sleaford-Wanna dune system and the pounding surf of the Southern Ocean.
