Ceduna is the last major town before the Nullarbor, and home to the famous Oysterfest (held on the October long weekend) and a rich Indigenous culture. Set amid a patchwork of grain paddocks and bushland, sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, it has everything needed to make it your perfect holiday location. As the gateway to the Nullarbor, Ceduna has a fully serviced town centre which will provide everything you need to stock up, whether you’re arriving from the west without your fruits and vegetables or beginning the trek over.
Discover...
Ceduna is a thriving seafood and oyster destination, and you can enjoy the stunning sunsets on the foreshore which has the benefit of the local Ceduna Foreshore Hotel Motel for dinner and drinks. In town check out Arts Ceduna and the Ceduna National Trust Museum, before heading out on the water. Fishing is plentiful, and nearby Davenport Creek (4WD required, or you can arrive by boat!!) is the perfect spot for a few days camping and catching a feed. Wittelbee Conservation Park and Laura Bay Conservation Park are great birdwatching locations, and also have bushwalks and sea views. Ceduna is also the tee-off point for the Nullarbor Links, the world’s longest golf course!
Visit Smoky Bay
Nearby Smoky Bay is a quieter destination, with a beautiful bay ideal for swimming, fishing and simply relaxing. There's a thriving oyster industry here, and Oyster Deck Experience offers excellent 'Shuck 'n Sip' tours on their viewing platform overlooking the water, along with shed and oyster lease tours. You can also pick up fresh local oysters straight from the aquaculture park, or enjoy other tasty, locally caught seafood from Smoky Bay Seafoods.
While it's a small town, your basic needs are well covered—with fuel, a general store, a local bar and two caravan parks to choose from for a comfortable stay. The stunning coastline will make you want to stay for days.
