Tumby Bay Jetty & Foreshore
A Long White Jetty & Calm Water
Tumby Bay's historic jetty and long white-sand foreshore, offering safe swimming, good fishing and views to the Sir Joseph Banks islands.
Gentle east-coast swimming
Tumby Bay's foreshore is the kind of safe, sandy, shallow beach that families seek out. Sheltered on the calmer east coast of the peninsula, it offers easy swimming, paddling and a long heritage jetty that stretches out over clear water toward the Sir Joseph Banks Group of islands.
The jetty is a favourite for fishing - whiting, squid and garfish are all caught here - and for simply watching the day go by. Together with the town's celebrated murals, the foreshore makes Tumby Bay a relaxed and rewarding place to linger.
