Kellidie Bay Conservation Park
A sheltered tidal bay and mangrove wetland on the edge of Coffin Bay, rich in birdlife and walking trails.
The quiet side of Coffin Bay
While Coffin Bay is famous for oysters and wild national-park beaches, Kellidie Bay offers something gentler — a calm, shallow inlet fringed with mangroves and seagrass right on the edge of the township.
A walking trail loops around the bay through coastal scrub and along the water's edge, with interpretive signs explaining how the mangroves and seagrass meadows act as nurseries for the fish and prawns that sustain the region. It is prime birdwatching country, with waders, herons and migratory shorebirds feeding on the flats.
Flat and easy, it is ideal for a relaxed morning walk and a reminder that the bay's calm waters are as much a part of its story as the surf beaches beyond.
