Bay of Shoals
Highlights
- Explore the circular Bay of Shoals, where unique tidal creeks create a picturesque coastal landscape.
- Wander along the 9.2 km northern shore, featuring a narrow strip of high tide sand and vibrant seagrass meadows.
- Fish in the bay's tranquil waters, enjoying the abundant marine life just beyond the shallow shoreline.
- Relax at the carpark, providing easy access to this stunning natural attraction in South Australia.
The Bay of Shoals is circular in shape, with the northern and southern shoreline separated by a small tidal creek. The 9.2 km long northern shore faces southeast and consists of a narrow, low strip of high tide sand, fronted by intertidal sand flats, which are vegetated in places and grade bayward into seagrass meadows, with seagrass debris littering the beach.
This beach is generally unsuitable for swimming, owing to the shallow sand flats.
Most fishing is done out in the bay, as the shore is too shallow.
