Tumby Bay
A quiet seaside town north of Port Lincoln with a long jetty, white sand beaches and giant silo murals, a popular stop on Eyre Peninsula road trips.
Tumby Bay lies about 50 km north of Port Lincoln on the Lincoln Highway, a typical South Australian seaside town. It is best known for its Silo Art: two tall grain silos painted with scenes of local children diving and playing in the water, a standout work on South Australia's silo art trail. The town also has several street murals. The long jetty is good for fishing and watching the sunset, and sea lions are sometimes seen nearby. The beach is gently sloping and clean, suitable for families. There are cafés and bakeries in town, making it a good rest stop on the road between Port Lincoln and Adelaide. Plan to spend 1–2 hours here.
