Best Free Things to Do on the Eyre Peninsula
Beaches, lookouts, wildlife and walks that cost nothing at all.
The headline experiences here — cage diving, oyster tours, sea-lion swims — come at a price, but the truth is that much of the Eyre Peninsula's magic is completely free. Empty beaches, clifftop lookouts, wild rock formations and roadside wildlife cost nothing but the drive. Here is how to fill a trip without opening your wallet.
