The west of the Eyre Peninsula is in contrast to the flatter coast and calmer waters of the eastern seaboard.
The spectacular rugged cliffs, stunning beaches with occasional wild surf makes you look forward to finding out what is around the next corner, and it is never disappointing. It just keeps getting better.
Coffin Bay is only 46 klms from Port Lincoln. It actually took us longer to pack up than it did to drive to this short distance.
This area has many waterways, bays, channels
and inlets for fishing and a multitude of water sports. This area would have to be a fisherman's dream with rock, surf, jetty and boat fishing. Mike and Steve, who we recently met at Port Lincoln, fished off the rocks while his wife Di and myself laid on the beach enjoying the stunning weather and swimming. Great way to spend an afternoon for all of us. Unfortunately, no fish that day.
Coffin Bay oysters are well known on the Peninsula and we have spent many evenings enjoying them kilpatrick style with a margarita, or two.
Coffin Bay National Park is close to town and has huge sand dunes sculptured by the wind. There is a 40klm 4WD track but we had heard that is was very challenging in parts so decided to give it a miss. The gravel roads in the park gave us good access to the highlight spots.
