Yorke Peninsula

Yorke Peninsula boasts crowd-free beaches, picturesque townships and spectacular national parks. Yorke Peninsula is one of South Australia’s most accessible seaside escapes.

 

The Yorke Peninsula’s unspoilt coast includes white beaches, fishing towns and historic coastal ports. The rugged cliffs of Dhilba Guurandha – Innes National Park offer untouched flora and fauna and picturesque coastal trails. With its distinctive “boot” shape, the Yorke Peninsula boasts more than 700 kilometres of coastline. It's easy to find the perfect beach to get away from the rat race.

Rich in European and natural heritage, the region owes much to the boom times of copper mining in the mid-19th century. This history is evident in the towns of Wallaroo, Moonta and Kadina. Each has self-guided tours and walks, and excellent museums.

The Yorke Peninsula is just over an hour's drive from Adelaide and has a wealth of experiences waiting for you. With the waters of Gulf St Vincent on the east and Spencer Gulf on the west, fresh seafood is everywhere you turn! Dine on blue swimmer crabs plucked fresh from the sea or try your luck at catching your own fish from one of the many jetty's.

It is recommended visitors have their own vehicle to explore the region or take an organised or private tour.
