All About Edithburgh
The small coastal town of Edithburgh sits on the southeast corner of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. It’s a popular holiday destination, especially for scuba divers and snorkellers, who frequent the Edithburgh Jetty as well as the wreck of the Clan Ranald – a turret ship that sank in 1909 with a full cargo on its way to London. In the early 1900s the town was home to a salt refinery, and today, boasts a wind farm — with a viewing area where you can see the turbines in action.
While the beaches at Edithburgh are generally unsuitable for swimming, there is a lovely tidal pool that offers a calm and protected swimming spot. Edithburgh is also known for its fishing, especially for King George whiting, garfish, squid, and mullet, and there are a number of restaurants and takeaway outlets in town that serve up the day’s catch.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Edithburgh
Edithburgh is a pleasant place to visit all year round. Summer is often the most popular time to visit, and temperatures can range from warm to extremely hot during this time. Autumn and spring are both very moderate and draw fewer visitors. In autumn, temperatures drop from the summer heat, and in spring, the town is cooled by sea breezes. While winter is often the quietest time in Edithburgh — and temperatures can dip quite low — it’s one of the best times to fish for salmon, King George whiting, and snapper swimming closer to shore. In the cooler months of winter and autumn you may also see migrating humpback whales.
Top things to do in Edithburgh
Tidal Pool
The three small beaches beneath the rocky cliffs at Edithburgh are generally unsuitable for swimming. However, Edithburgh’s tidal pool is a protected and inviting place to swim, or take swimming lessons, in the warmer months of the year. There is also a pretty mural surrounding the pool which was painted by a local artist.
Mosaic Walking Trail
A section of the longer Walk the Yorke leisure trail, the Mosaic Walking trail is lined with nautical-themed mosaic rock art, created by a local artist. There are close to 100 mosaics in total, spread across 2 kilometres of the trail. The wider walk stretches for 500 kilometres along the Yorke Peninsula’s beautiful coastline — offering a chance to see pristine beaches, marine and birdlife, sand dunes, and historic lighthouses.
Scuba Diving and Snorkelling
Edithburgh is a popular destination for scuba divers and keen snorkellers, with an abundance of marine life around the main jetty, as well as around the shipwreck of the Clan Renald, which was over 100 metres in length. It’s not uncommon to see various species of octopus, anglerfish, and seahorses among a range of fish here. Occasionally, you may see sea lions and Port Jackson or Wobbegong sharks, or a rare leafy sea dragon.
