About Coorong

This spectacular 140km-long saline lagoon system stretches along the coast southeast of Adelaide, featuring Australia's longest beach on the Younghusband Peninsula. Established in 1966 and of enormous cultural significance to the Ngarrindjeri people, the wetland supports over 230 migratory bird species and serves as an important breeding area for Australian pelicans. Activities include birdwatching, boating, kayaking, fishing, and camping across 16 campgrounds. The park was made famous as the setting for the beloved 1976 film Storm Boy.
