A small coastal conservation park on South Australia's Limestone Coast, protecting rare native flora along a stretch of rugged shoreline.

Douglas Point Conservation Park

Douglas Point Conservation Park is a small protected area in the south-east of South Australia, situated along the state's rugged Limestone Coast. It lies within the gazetted locality of Cape Douglas, roughly mid-way between the regional centre of Mount Gambier to the north and the coastal township of Port MacDonnell to the south-east. The park occupies a compact coastal strip where limestone headlands and sheltered bays define the surrounding scenery. The conservation park was proclaimed in 1997 with the explicit purpose of safeguarding a single endangered plant species, the Sand Ixodia, which is otherwise rare across South Australia. Because of this focused plant-conservation purpose, the park remains a modest but ecologically targeted reserve rather than a broad multi-habitat wilderness area. Its location within a region known for its volcanic geology, limestone formations, and Southern Ocean frontier gives it value both for plant conservation and for its position within a wider network of coastal reserves. Despite its small size, the park represents a meaningful example of how South Australia uses small targeted conservation parks to protect highly localised plant communities. It is administered by the state's Department for Environment and Water and is classified internationally as an IUCN Category VI protected area, recognising that the land supports sustainable use of natural resources alongside its conservation role.
