The Port Willunga North Coast Park forms part of the state government's Coast Park vision for Greater Adelaide, to develop a coastal linear park including a 70km shared use path from North Haven to Sellicks Beach.

The Port Willunga North segment (from Maslin Unclad Beach car park to Port Willunga foreshore car park) was identified as a priority action to commence planning and design in 2019-20. This segment contributes to 2.8km of Coast Park. Formalising this segment of Coast Park will provide a considerable tourist draw-card, attracting visitors to the spectacular coastline. The improved access, facilities and reserves in Port Willunga, will also generate significant community benefit through improved recreation opportunities.
