The Eyre Peninsula is South Australia in microcosm beloved for its succulent seafood, 1,930km of untouched coastline, and vast, wildlife-rich Outback. Best of all, you'll have this lesser-known Australian gem largely to yourself. Hop on a one-stop flight from the UK to state capital Adelaide, before driving or flying onto the Peninsula in as little as 45 minutes to start your adventure.
AUSTRALIA'S SEAFOOD FRONTIER
With freshly shucked oysters, prawns, tuna and mussels on the menu, there's no risk of going hungry in this seafood lover's paradise. You'll feel like you've earned your food here too, thanks to myriad catch and cook-your-own experiences across Port Lincoln. Waders at the ready on a tour of Coffin Bay with Oyster HQ, where you can sample oysters straight from the ocean. If it's a mix of wildlife encounters, wine and seafood you're after, Australian Coastal Safaris are your go-to, from four-wheel driving through sand-dunes and rugged terrain to birdwatching and wildlife experiences and wellness tours.
Self-drive is a big deal Down Under, so what better than to search for seafood than under your own steam? The Seafood Frontier road trip takes you from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula's sparkling coastline.
MAKE A SPLASH
Clean waters abound on the Eyre Peninsula - that's what makes it a thriving location for seafood and marine life. Come face to face with sea lions as they somersault and play in front of your eyes, swim with pods of wild dolphins, or for the ultimate adventure, go cage shark diving to see great whites heart-racingly close. Back on dry land, explore Greenly Beach's rock pools and the towering sand dunes en route to Gunyah Beach.
