The Coorong National Park is of world-wide biological significance, caters for nature lovers, walkers with Pelican Point being a favourite with bird watchers. Long Point has a boat launch, jetty and is a nice spot for a bit of fishing. Parnka Point offers great views of the lagoon and a boat launch. Jacks Point has a viewing deck and walking trail and an observatory with high powered binoculars to view the large numbers of visiting or breeding birds on the islands. You can stay at Camp
Coorong, or alternatively you can bush camp in the National Park
itself (although you will need a permit to stay here), which you
can get from Meningie and Salt Creek.
