Acraman Creek Conservation Park is a protected coastal area in South Australia. The park conserves coastal habitats associated with Acraman Creek and adjacent shoreline.

The protected area includes tidal creeks, coastal flats and associated vegetation that support local wildlife. Public access is typically limited and oriented toward low-impact nature appreciation rather than developed recreation.

The conservation park was designated to protect coastal and estuarine environments and to manage natural values in the region. Management is overseen by the South Australian government conservation authority.

The park lies on the west coast of South Australia on the Eyre Peninsula side of the state, situated in a relatively remote coastal landscape. The nearest regional centers are located some distance to the southeast and northwest along the coast.

Acraman Creek Conservation Park lies roughly 45-60 minutes’ drive west of Streaky Bay town (about 60-80 km depending on route). From Streaky Bay, drive along the Flinders Highway (B100) then follow local signage toward the coast and the park access tracks; some final sections are unsealed.

There is no regular public transport to the park; private car is required. Park in the marked carpark near the picnic area and follow the short walking tracks to the shoreline and boat ramp.

• Access tracks can be soft sand - 2WD will manage from the main carpark but high-clearance preferred for beach driving.
• Bring binoculars for shore birds; the creek is an important stop for migratory waders.
• Sunset is the best light for photography; watch for tide changes if walking the shoreline.
