The Discovery Bay Coastal Park is a linear protected area of coastal land in western Victoria, south-eastern Australia. The 10,460-hectare (25,800-acre) park extends along the coast of Discovery Bay from Cape Nelson north-westwards for 50 kilometres (31 mi) to the border with South Australia. The park was listed on Australia's now-defunct Register of the National Estate,[2] and lies within the traditional lands of the Gunditjmara people.

Part of the route of the Great South West Walk is located within the park.[3] The Discovery Bay Marine National Park adjoins the park to the west of Cape Bridgewater
