Fishery Bay Lookout
A clifftop vantage over the wild surf and pale sand of Fishery Bay, south of Port Lincoln.
Looking down on the swell
Fishery Bay carries its history in its name — this was the site of a shore-based whaling station in the colony's earliest years, when right whales were hunted from the beach. Today it is a beautiful, exposed surf bay, and the lookout above it is the place to take it in.
From the clifftop the eye runs along pale sand and breaking swell to rocky points at either end, with the deep blue of the Southern Ocean filling the horizon. Surfers and fishers know the bay well; for everyone else the lookout offers the view without the scramble.
It sits on the loop of wild-coast roads south of Port Lincoln, an easy add-on to a day exploring Sleaford Bay and Whalers Way.
