Tourist attractions in the Eyre Peninsula

The Eyre Peninsula is a land of natural wonders. Experience towering sand dunes, isolated beaches with crystal-clear water and rugged bushland in Lincoln National Park. Marvel at the red earth and remarkable granite peaks of the Gawler Ranges, retreat to the peace, solitude and wide open spaces of the Nullarbor, shuck your own oysters on an oyster farm or relax on pure-white shores in Coffin Bay National Park. You can’t forget the magnificent wildlife either. Swim with dolphins and sea lions at Baird Bay, get up-close to furry kolas at Mikkira Station or cage dive with great white sharks in Port Lincoln.

Eyre Peninsula Most Popular Attractions

Here, landmarks don’t need signposts. Rocks rise like sculptures from the earth, dunes move like waves on land and 2,000 kilometres of coastline stretches into Western Australia. These are the popular attractions that put the Eyre Peninsula on the map.

Eyre Peninsula Popular National & Conservation Parks

The wild is never far away. Dunes, cliffs and turquoise bays unfold across Lincoln and Coffin Bay National Parks, where kangaroos hop along quiet tracks. Wander off the path to spot a Sturt Desert Pea nodding in the breeze or camp under the stars for a night with nature. Don’t forget to get your park pass before you go.

Eyre Peninsula Walks and Trails

Walking is the simplest way to meet the Eyre Peninsula. Feet on the sand, wind in your hair and a coastline that stretches wide and untamed. Follow trails through rugged national parks, wander dunes that rise and fall like waves or take the popular Coffin Bay oyster walk, where the salt air carries the promise of the day’s fresh catch.

Eyre Peninsula Other Popular Attractions

The Eyre Peninsula isn’t just about wide horizons and rugged coastlines — its stories live in unexpected corners too. See unique attractions like the octopus mural at Tumby Bay, a local nod to the Spencer Gulf. The Whyalla Jetty, built in 1901, and maritime museums where wrecks and rescues bring the coast’s history alive.
