Smoky Bay surrounding areas
Acraman Creek Conservation Park
15km south of Smoky Bay, signposted off the Flinders Highway.
The road in is 2 wheel drive access to Point Lindsay.
This low energy coast features typical sea grasses, mangrove,
samphire, and mallee succession.
A tidal creek extends well into a large samphire marsh. This
area provides excellent habitat for local and migratory
wet-land wild life.
A long sandy beach backed by sand dune makes this area a great
location for a short break.
Small boats can be launched from the beach, or with 4 wheel
drive vehicles into the estuary creek. Good fishing, but
seasonal.
Safe swimming from the beach, but take care in the creek due
to fast moving tides. Sheltered bush camping in the
mallee dunes. Good bird-watching in spring and summer.
No formal walking trails. |

Laura Bay Conservation Park
Approximately 20km north west of Smoky Bay, signposted from
the Flinders Highway. Laura Bay is 251 hectares in area with
white coves, mangrove, sand-dunes and rocky headlands. All of
which encourage the visitor to enjoy the untouched beauty,
while a walking trail in the conservation park allows one to
share the tranquillity with the bush birds and animals.
Bird-watching, fishing and camping.
Wittelbee
This small park is 6km north of Laura Bay and has fine sandy
beaches broken by low rocky headlands and Wettelbee Point.
The pretty coastal vegetation along with many species of bird
life make this tiny park a delight to visit. |
