Piccaninnie Ponds Conservation Park

Pic­canin­nie Ponds is closed for immer­sive water activ­i­ties until fur­ther notice. The con­ser­va­tion park remains open to the pub­lic how­ev­er entry into the water for div­ing and snor­kel­ing is not per­mit­ted and per­mits are not being issued.

On land, take a walk along the beach and see the freshwater springs bubbling up onto the sand.

There is also a walking trail through coastal wattle and beard heath to the ponds outlet. On the way, view the southern ocean and the lower south east marine park. The walk then leads inland via boardwalks into silky tea-tree and cutting grass to a lookout where views of the wetland and bamboo reed and bulrush can be seen.
