Parsons Beach

Parsons is one of the two long surf beaches in Newland Head Conservation Park. Its exposed coastline and dunes make it a destination for coastal scenery and experienced surfers. Start at the Parsons Beach car park and follow the designated beach track. The pin marks the car park, not the separate Waitpinga entrance. Bring water and suitable footwear. Strong rips and hidden gutters make this an unsuitable swimming beach. Pets are not permitted in the park; check the park’s current alerts before travelling. Before visiting, check current beach advice and algal-bloom updates: https://www.algalbloom.sa.gov.au/ Photo 1: Foraminifera — CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).
