Discover Port Lincoln, The Seafood Capital of Australia
Port Lincoln is situated on Boston Bay, one of the largest protected natural harbours in the world and three times the size of Sydney Harbour. First settled in 1839, Port Lincoln today is a vibrant regional centre and the perfect base from which to explore the Southern Eyre Peninsula.
Incredible seafood, beautiful wines, fantastic ocean adventures, wonderful wildlife experiences, award-winning local tours, and an exhaustive range of things to see and do in both Port Lincoln and the surrounding towns will keep your days packed.
Enjoy Ocean Adventures
For outdoorsy adventure types, shark cage diving, swimming with sea lions, sailing, windsurfing, paddle boating, scuba diving, kayaking, surfing, cruising, and fishing are all on the menu.
Away from the water, playing a round or two on Port Lincoln’s beautiful 18-hole golf course, horse racing, bushwalking and camping in the National Parks, plus wildlife petting and birdwatching all provide relaxing ways to while away your day.
Hike or Bike Your Way Around Port Lincoln
Hikers have a couple of worthwhile options in the Investigator, Parnkalla and the town’s Heritage walking trails. Or for the more adventurous, challenging walks abound in Lincoln National Park and Coffin Bay National Park.
Love a great view? Lincoln Cove, Boston Bay, Lincoln National Park, Thorny Passage Marine Park and Whaler’s Way all provide magnificent coastal panoramas. Nearby, Winter Hill—one of Australia’s most spectacular views—overlooks Port Lincoln and Boston Bay.
