Beachport Conservation Park

Limestone Coast


There are some great walking tracks in this 710-hectare park, sandwiched between the coast and Lake George 2km north of town, taking you past Aboriginal middens, sheltered coves, lagoons and bush camping sites (per vehicle $15) on the shores of Lake George itself. Good bird-watching, surfing and sailboarding.
