Introduction
Seal Bay Conservation Park lies on the south coast of Kangaroo Island in South Australia, and is one of the few places where visitors can watch wild Australian sea lions at close range. The reserve protects white sand dunes and coastal scrub where sea lions rest on the beach and play in the shallows. Visitors join a ranger-led boardwalk tour into the breeding area to learn about the animals and the conservation work. The bay is open and scenic, with clear water and the rugged landscapes typical of Kangaroo Island. It is explored mainly on foot at an easy pace and suits families, nature lovers and photographers.
