==Visitor attractions== Croajingolong's landscapes are so spectacular and environmentally significant that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) nominated it a World Biosphere Reserve in 1977.<ref>{{Cite web|title = UNESCO β MAB Biosphere Reserves Directory|url = http://www.unesco.org/mabdb/br/brdir/directory/biores.asp?code=AUL+01&mode=all|website = unesco.org|accessdate = 2015-06-20}}</ref> The park houses impressive biodiversity, including almost 1,000 native plant species and 315 animal species. The diverse coastal landscapes feature rocky outcrops, large stretches of sandy beaches, coastal dunes and freshwater rivers, making the park a popular destination for hiking and walking, swimming, diving, snorkelling and sea kayaking. A popular way to explore the remote wilderness and diverse flora and fauna of the national park is on the Wilderness Coast Walk, which extends 45 kilometres from Thurra River camping area to Shipwreck Creek. Popular destinations within the park include: * [[Point Hicks]] and its lighthouse * [[Tamboon Inlet]] resort town * Spectacular sand dunes at [[Thurra River]] * [[Lake Elusive]] near [[Wingan Inlet]] * [[Mount Everard]] * [[Rame Head, Victoria|Rame Head]] Camping spots exist at Wingan Inlet, Shipwreck Creek and Peachtree Creek and are all accessible by car.
