Innes National Park has magnificent coastal scenery and wildlife environment. It contains the former gypsum mining town of Inneston and the small port and township of Stenhouse Bay. Some of the buildings at Inneston have been restored and are available as basic hire accommodation. A number of gypsum lakes inside the area of the park are excluded so they can still be mined for gypsum if required. The park also contains a spectacular rugged coastline which contains the sites of several historic shipwrecks and two lighthouses. Innes National Park was first proclaimed in 1970. Wildlife is readly seen, including malleefowl. The extremely rare Western Whipbird is known in the park, but rarely seen.
