All about Marion Bay
The unpretentious town of Marion Bay sits on a golden stretch of coastline near the tip of South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula. Travelers come to this popular holiday spot to fish, surf, bushwalk, or all three. The town serves as the gateway to the stunning surf beaches and hiking tracks of expansive Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park, which occupies the southern tip of the peninsula. There are great fishing spots in the national park, and on Marion Bay’s long jetty you can try your hand at catching large squid and mullet. You can also fish from the town’s beach or off the rocks, or take a fishing charter to seek out whiting, samson fish, and tuna. The waters off Marion Bay are part of Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park, which extends to the coastline of Kangaroo Island, the third-largest island in Australia. The town stretches down the shoreline from the jetty, along two beaches separated by a headland. A general store and a tavern on the highway offer the only hot meals in town. So come prepared with supplies — or catch your own dinner.
What are the top things to do in Marion Bay?

(It’d take around 10 hours to walk the entire track to Foul Bay.) There’s a cycling track to Foul Bay as well, which runs inland near the coast.
Surfing the national park
There are more than a half-dozen recognised surf breaks in Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park. Head to the western side of the park for consistent waves throughout summer at West Cape or at the main break at Pondalowie Bay. Experienced wave riders can tackle the reef break at Trespassers, near Point Margaret north of the national park.
The shipwreck trail
The Yorke Peninsula coastline is littered with shipwrecks. You can check out beach wrecks like the Ethel in Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park, or dive accessible wrecks like the Marion and the Willyama off the coast of the park.
