Sleep by the Sea
The best stay in Eyre Peninsula
Wake up to the water in a foreshore caravan park, a Port Lincoln hotel overlooking Boston Bay, a Coffin Bay holiday house or a wilderness eco-retreat. The Eyre Peninsula does relaxed coastal accommodation better than almost anywhere.
Where you stay on the Eyre Peninsula shapes the whole trip, because the region is vast and the drives between towns are long and scenic. Port Lincoln makes the natural base for the south, with waterfront hotels, motels and self-contained apartments close to the marina, restaurants and tour departures.
Further afield, the coastal towns each have their own character. Streaky Bay and Coffin Bay offer foreshore caravan parks, beach shacks and holiday houses steps from the water, while station stays and bush camps put you among the wildlife inland. National park campgrounds in Lincoln and Coffin Bay reward the prepared with absolute beachfront sites.
For a road trip, many travellers split nights between the gulf side and the surf coast to cut driving and catch more beaches. Book ahead over summer school holidays and the Easter and tuna-season peaks, when foreshore parks fill fast. Outside those windows you'll find space, quiet and easy availability across the peninsula.
