Located on the lower southern end of Eyre Peninsula, the Australian city of Port Lincoln rests on the shore of the beautiful Boston Bay. This thriving fishing port is known as the ‘Seafood Capital of Australia’, and it is reputed to have the most millionaires per capita. Visit the spectacularly scenic Lincoln National Park, home to a wonderful selection of rare flora and fauna; enjoy the panoramic views of the island-dotted coastline from the Winter Hill Lookout, and sample an array of fresh seafood at one of the many lively eateries. Other popular activities include shopping, diving, swimming with sea lions, wildlife viewing, wine tasting, and picnicking in the grassy parks and playgrounds.
The Eyre Peninsula is a coastal region of South Australia that offers a wealth of sights and activities within a relatively compact and accessible area. The Lincoln Highway - which runs from Port Augusta (in the east) to Port Lincoln (in the south) – is a popular driving route that connects most of the Eyre Peninsula’s best sights, which include charming coastal towns, outstanding national parks and the expansive, treeless Nullarbor Plain. Don’t miss Port Lincoln, Australia’s seafood capital; the picturesque retreat of Coffin Bay and its national park; and the outstanding rock formations and salt lakes of the Gawler Ranges National Park. At the Head of Bight, between May and October you can spot Southern Right Whales (who use this area as a breeding-ground), and Baird Bay is known for its sea lions and dolphins.
