  • Visited Parks*
    Page header?? Western Australia’s top FREE park pass inside 10most visited parks* On behalf of the people of Western Australia, Parks and Wildlife manages the State’s national parks, marine parks and other reserves, which cover more than 27 million hectares – an area roughly the size of Victoria and Tasmania combined. WA has 100 national parks and 13 marine parks with a diverse array of landscapes and seascapes, from coral reefs and tall forests to deep gorges and open plains of wildflowers. In 2013/14 these areas received 16 million visits from visitors and locals who were spoiled for choice for places to visit and enjoy. LANDSCOPE magazine takes a closer look at Western Australia’s top 10 most visited parks and what makes them special. LANDSCOPE 25 2 3 1 1. LEEUWIN-NATURALISTE NATIONAL PARK Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park attracts about 2.7 million visits each year from people who come to enjoy the stunning coastal scenery and beautiful beaches, fascinating geology and majestic karri forests. New 4 camping facilities at Conto Campground cater to campers while the Cape to Cape Track and various walk trails play host to those who want to explore the park on foot. 2. MARMION MARINE PARK The clear shallow lagoons, reefs and tiny islands of Marmion Marine Park (located 5 offshore from Perth’s northern suburbs between Trigg Island and Burns Beach) play host to a raft of marine mammals such as sea lions, bottlenose dolphins and humpback whales, when they’re passing. People can experience these natural wonders at the many lookouts along the coast, aboard a boat or kayak, or underwater swimming, snorkelling or scuba diving.
