Baird Bay Islands Conservation Park is a protected area associated with two islands in Baird Bay which is located on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 32 kilometres (20 mi) and 45 kilometres (28 mi) west south-west of Streaky Bay. The islands are respectively an unnamed island within Baird Bay and Jones Island at the bay’s mouth. The park was declared as Fauna Conservation Reserve in March 1967, and was re-proclaimed in 1972 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to ‘conserve an offshore island habitat and Australian sea lion breeding area.’ The conservation park is classified as an International Union for Conservation of Nature Category IV protected area.
