This is probably the reason you’ve heard of this place – whether you’ve eaten them at restaurants or seen the classic images of guests in waders tasting oysters fresh from the ocean, they’re an absolute must while you’re here.

Take a tour with Coffin Bay Oyster Farm Tours and walk out into the water to shuck oysters fresh from the ocean, with a glass of wine in hand. Or on land you can dine at Oyster HQ re, grab oysters from their iconic oyster vending machine, or stop by Stantis Coffin Bay for a delicious seafood meal.

The Coffin Bay National Park has some of the best-known views on the Eyre Peninsula, and is incredibly popular for its soft sandy beaches, abundant wildlife, great fishing and towering dunes.

If you'd prefer to explore with local insight, Coffin Bay Tours offers guided experiences into the park, taking the hassle out of navigating and helping you discover some of its hidden gems. Walk along the white sands of Almonta Beach, enjoy a bush picnic and kayak at Yangie Bay, breathe in the fresh salty air overlooking Point Avoid and Golden Island Lookout, and climb the dunes near Gunyah Beach, all while keeping an eye out for kangaroos, emus and dolphins. Trust us, you can stay a while here! There are plenty of campgrounds to choose from if you're staying overnight, some of which are 2WD accessible.
