Fishing charters and cruises operate out of Coffin Bay and other adventure tours are available, including oyster tours. Maybe try the Oyster Walk.

You can either stroll any section of the Oyster Walk, or take on the challenge of completing one or more of it's sections,
But if walking is not your thing, just sit on the patio & enjoy the view over the bay !!
We look forward to having you stay.
ABOUT THE REGION
Coffin Bay is situated on the Eyre Peninsula just 30 mins drive from Port Lincoln via the B100 bitumen highway, and on the doorstep of the glorious Coffin Bay National Park. There is lots to do: boating, fishing, fishing charters, swimming, canoeing and other water sports, as well as walking trails and great scenery.
Qantas and Rex Airlines fly to Port Lincoln from Adelaide several times a day. Pre-booked hire cars can be picked up at the airport.
From Adelaide it is an approx 700 km drive via Port Augusta to Coffin Bay. There is however, the Sea SA car ferry, which runs across the Spencer Gulf daily from Wallaroo to Lucky Bay. Check their website for more details.
The wild west coastline of the Eyre Peninsula runs north from Coffin Bay and has a series of sandy beaches, rocky cliffs and headlands with almost nobody there. There are virtually no buildings or settlements along this magnificent coastline until Elliston, about 120 km away.
The Coffin Bay National Park is accessed through the Coffin Bay Township. A relatively small and scenically splendid part of the Park is accessed easily on sealed roads . The remainder of the Park to the west has a diversity of scenery, but can only be reached with 4 wheel drive vehicles.
Port Lincoln is well developed for tourism, with attractions such as swimming with tuna, shark cage diving, fishing or sailing charters, wineries and restaurants. Many Port Lincoln people tow their boats to launch them at Farm Beach, as it is widely renowned for its productive fishing grounds. Farm Beach is only 25kms from Coffin Bay. The Port Lincoln National Park has much of interest, as well as the Coffin Bay National Park, which is right on your doorstep.

Thanks so much for the review. We were rapt to have you back visiting, and finding the fish again. Welcome back anytime. Cheers, HOWSTHASERENITEE
Lovely location with a very pet-friendly feel. The yard is perfect for pets to enjoy, and the outdoor area has a relaxed, charming shack vibe that makes it a great place to unwind. It’s conveniently close to local facilities and the Oyster Walk. While the décor is a little dated, it adds to the wholesome charm of the place.

We absolutely loved our stay. The property was perfect. clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, with beautiful views. The outdoor area was the perfect space to sit and relax, and we especially loved waking up to see an emu out the bedroom window. What an incredible spot.As someone more used to staying in hotels, I initially struggled with the communication requirements and was so thankful that Jon was incredibly helpful and understanding throughout.Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short due to an emergency with one of our children back home, but we’re so grateful for the time we did have there. We can’t wait to come back again with the whole family.Thanks Jon for a wonderful stay :)

Thanks a zillion for your kind review Peter. It's always a pleasure to have you & your crew visit. Pleasing to hear you found some fish again, and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Kind regards, HOWSTHASERENITEE
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again and loved how the yard is fully fenced now making it safer for our fur babies to run around on the lawn safely. We really love this property if is very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We love the outdoor area though we couldn’t use it as much due to the weather. We really appreciated the quick responses from Jon. Just a couple of things to maybe check… the door in the lounge room was rattling quite a lot with the wind so much so we could hear it in the bedrooms when we were trying to sleep. Also the windows in the laundry… possibly need to look into being able to close these when needed or put some fly screening on them as we had quite a few moths and mosquitos getting into the house and my son is quite allergic to them and welts up when he gets bitten. Just wanted to make you aware of those 2 things. Not complaining at all. We look forward to having another staycation with you again soon. Amanda and Craig
