Tumby Island Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia associated with Tumby Island in Spencer Gulf and located about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) southeast of the town of Tumby Bay.[2]
The conservation park consists of land described as "section 682, north out of hundreds, county of Flinders", being the entirety of Tumby Island.
The area under protection is considered significant for the following reason: "a small island providing feeding and roosting habitat for seabirds."[7][8]
The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.[1] In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.[8]
