vegetation

Coastal heaths, which occur in the hilly parts of the park, contain hundreds of different species of plants, many of which characterize the landscape in spring and summer with their abundance of flowers. The species are generally characterized by low growth and tolerance to wind, salt and fire. In fact, some species only grow after a bush fire has allowed them to germinate. Species such as acacias and casuarinas, which grow into bushes and trees in other areas, remain rather flat due to the effects of the wind. In total, over 40 species of orchids were counted in the national park.
