Fishing, boating, surfing, swimming, camping, bush walking and wildlife; there’s so much to see and do along the Yorke Peninsula. Just over an hour’s drive away from Adelaide and home to over 700 kilometres of pristine coastline, the Yorke Peninsula is one of South Australia’s most accessible seaside escapes.

Here are our top things to do in the Yorke Peninsula…

Enjoy local produce

There’s something for every tastebud in the Yorke Peninsula. Local produce is abundant, with regular markets, restaurants, cafes and eateries in the region. Seafood lovers can especially rejoice. Think delicious blue swimmer crab, snappy, oysters, squid and more.

Our top, local picks are as follows:

• Barley Stack Wines (a delicious offering and red and white wines!)
• Watsacowie Brewering Co. (craft beer galore!)
• Adrossan Bakery (a must-visit!)
• Inland Sea Restaurant (specialises in locally caught seafood – fresh and delicious!)
• Minlaton Chocolaterie (chocolate, chocolate, chocolate – what more can we say?)
• Bond Store Wallaroo Restaurant (An exciting, new microbrewery, distillery & restaurant!)
• Sunny Hill Distillery (A divine tasting room!)
• Taste the Yorke (great seasonal + local produce!)

And if you’re wanting a great fishing spot to source your own local produce, look no further than Port Hughes, Moonta and Wallaroo. Great for crabbing, and you can expect to catch a King George whiting or two if you’re lucky!
