Parnka Point
A headland at the narrowest point of the Coorong lagoon, with a campsite and viewpoint. At sunset the lagoon and dunes turn golden.
Parnka Point is about 25 km south of Meningie. It marks the division between the northern and southern sections of the lagoon, where the water is only a few hundred metres wide and the opposite dunes are close at hand. The campsite is quiet, and you can fish, boat and birdwatch. Sunset here is considered one of the most beautiful views in the Coorong. It is reached by a gravel road off the Princes Highway, and campsites must be booked in advance.
