Most of can only be accessed by 4WD, however, there's still a fair bit to explore via sealed roads at the southern end.



Yangie Bay is ideal for canoeing, picnicking and bushwalking. A short kilometre-long trail will lead you up to the Yangie Lookout where you'll be rewarded with excellent views overlooking the bay. Continue hiking further and you'll reach the Yangie Bay mouth. Here, a view of the attractive marine park awaits. Although there's a gentle incline, the walk would be considered relatively easy. Acces­si­ble toilets, as well as a picnic shelter with spaces for wheelchairs, are available at the campground where the trail begins. The trail itself though isn't wheelchair-friendly.





But, having said that, an accessible trail can be found along Coffin Bay Road. The boardwalk to Templetonia Lookout is pretty much flat except for one steeper section. You'll catch a glimpse of Yangie Bay from here too.





There are also Point Avoid and the Golden Island Lookout which both offer spectacular views. You can easily see some of the islands that form the Whidbey Isles. Golden Island is made from calcarenite limestone and its freshly eroded cliffs are, well, golden in colour. Located not far from the bay, these lookouts can be reached by means of a sealed road.





The park is located just two kilometres from the township of Coffin Bay. A vehicle entry fee of $12.50 applies. For more information, please head to their website at www.parks.sa.gov.au .
