Leven Beach Conservation Park is a protected area located on the north coast of the lower part of Yorke Peninsula about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west north-west of Point Turton. The conservation park was proclaimed in 1988 for the purpose of conserving ‘sheoak woodland and potentially provides habitat for a nationally endangered species of butterfly, the Yellowish Sedge-skipper Butterfly’. The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[2][3][4] Since 1999, the conservation park has been located within the boundaries of the gazetted localities of Point Souttar and The Pines.[5]
