Marion Bay is the last town at the end of the Yorke Peninsula before entering the Innes National Park. We should also mention locality because out of season, Marion Bay is very quiet. The isolation is what gives it its charm though. There are many places in Australia where the environment is preserved. Marion Bay is one of them. Its beach is absolutely beautiful. In good weather it is even possible to see Kangaroo Island off the coast. Locals are very proud of their town, this peaceful paradise for fishermen, and it is in their hearts to keep it well away from any urbanization for as long as possible. Lovers of fine food, during a visit to the region, be sure to stop at the Marion Bay Tavern. This unpretentious restaurant serves excellent innovative cuisine. The portions are very generous and composed of fresh produce. Marion Bay Tavern is famous for its wood-fired pizzas but make sure you also try its seafood. Purely delightful, sea view dining!

Innes National Park is located on the southern tip of the Yorke Peninsula. This is certainly where you will find the most spectacular coastlines in the region. This is a great place for hiking, bird watching and photography. But like the rest of the peninsula, it is also a place steeped in history. Do not miss: Inneston Historic Walk through the ghost town of Inneston which will take you back to the early twentieth century, the Investigator Strait Shipwreck Trail where you will come across the remains of dozens of shipwrecked storm victims littering the beaches of the park.

The Yorke Peninsula, west of Adelaide, is a world apart. An almost remote destination with small pockets of civilization surrounded by nature. At the heart of the land is an agricultural community. It is also possible to visit some of the farms. Along the coast there is a mixture of dramatic cliffs, beautiful beaches and some world class surfing spots. The Yorke Peninsula is also popular with fishermen who travel there from all over South Australia to catch Blue Swimmer Crabs, Southern Salmon and Southern Rock Lobster. But a visit to the region is also an opportunity to delve into history by visiting the Copper Coast which is formed by the towns of Moonta, Kadina and Wallaroo. There are remains of copper mining from the nineteenth century, so well preserved that some are real treasures.
