Worth the trip to see the seals, the boats going through the lock. Goolwa side of the lock is fresh water & the south eastern side is salt water. A bonus is you get a nice little walk in too. There is BBQs in the park area.

Sugars Beach, located on Hindmarsh Island and in the Coorong National Park, is a viewing spot to see where the Mighty Murray meets the ocean and also a great fishing spot. You can find The Coorong Cafe here and also Canoe the Coorong kayak hire. The Murray Mouth is a narrow channel where a lot of water passes through. The Southern/Eastern side of the mouth is the Coorong and the Western side is the Murray River.
