Coffin Bay, South Australia

Coffin Bay is a popular location for boating, sailing, swimming, water-skiing, and wind-surfing, as well as fishing (rock, surf, angling and boat). Also oyster farming is conducted in the quiet waters of Coffin Bay. The town is situated on the western side of the southern tip of Eyre Peninsula about 46km from Port Lincoln. It has a population of 650 but swells during holiday seasons to more than 4000.

Good Fishin'

Visitors like us are offered with unparalleled scenic views of vast expanses of meandering protected pristine waterways with large bays, channels, inlets and sandy beaches. Took photos of some exposed jagged cliffs, sand dunes, and long white beaches.

"conquering fear"

For ardent 4WD enthusiast like us there is the track across the sand dunes to Gunyha Beach and the more adventurous trip to Point Sir Isaacs at the tip of Coffin Bay Peninsula which is a six hour return journey. Along with our three family friends with their kids and 4WD’s we tried the trip to Point Sir Isaacs but was cut short due to one of the car got bogged for a while and then as we were cruising with fun on a stretch of water filled unsealed road, one of our mate’s car fuel tank underneath cover protector got jammed with a long branch of tree and sustained damaged. Had to stop again for atleast an hour to find a suitable area to park and removed the wedged tree branch as there’s a lot of traffic going on. Due to delays we all decided to not continue with the trip as its nearing night time already and head back to our accommodation and feels that we already have much fun clearing the bogged car and don’t want further damage in the car.

"oh, uhhhh"

 "then the fun begins..."

"uhhhh, uhhhh not expecting a tree branch in this water crossing"

"the girls having fun"

There are plenty of accommodations that will suit anyone’s budget in this place, for us we rented for 2 nights a 4bedroom holiday house. Not bad for $550 for 4 families to share so I suggest to go with your friends as you can save a lot of money by sharing accommodation, food and the more the merrier especially in trying to get a shower at the same time in a 2bath place with 8 kids and 8 adults. It is always fun sharing stories with your friends while cooking and drinking at the same time. You are not going to have a quiet time with good company and as you started getting drunk and trying to remember the old memories to share. Definitely recommending it to everyone who are nature lovers or just want to have a quiet time themselves.
