It feels like the coastline that never ends and it turns out that the Eyre Peninsula comprises over 60% of the entire SA coastline! SA lays claim to around 3270km worth of amazing coastline on the mainland (plus around 800km worth of islands), of which over 2000km is known as the Eyre Peninsula.

To say this area is diverse would be an understatement. I am not sure why it has taken us 17 years in Australia to really discover this but I feel like we have found some of the most amazing beaches on the planet during our time on the Eyre.

After leaving Port Lincoln, we made the relatively short drive up the west coast of the Eyre and spent the night at a free camp by a ‘well known’ surf spot called Sheringa. Super fun beach camp and kids loved exploring the dunes and general wild feel of the area.

Travelling further north, we found some spots at Walkers Rocks and spent a couple of days enjoying the bay and flying the trainer kite with the kids – super windy!!

Next on the ‘free camp’ list, we spent a couple of nights at Speeds Point…. A location I think we could have all stayed a lot longer! Amazing beach with the largest (and oldest) abalone shells I have ever seen! The boys actually found a headland where these are buried in the headland and have clearly been there for a VERY long time!

Fun fishing time for the boys and some great (but cold) snorkelling time. All round a really cool place to pause for a few days.

We have been on the road for over 10 weeks now and spent almost 2 months in SA. Our time travelling the SA coastline has been incredible and it feels like the Eyre has been the highlight so far. We are enjoying some time at the caravan park in Streaky Bay for a few days and chance for the kids to make some new friends and for us all to reset before we hit the road for the crossing into WA and the mighty Nullarbor plains.
