Main Attractions

Boston Bay is the perfect place for water and other sports, as well as scenic walking trails; in particular the Parnkalla Walking Trail, which edges the bay all the way from Billy Lights Point to North Shields. Two city lookouts, Puckridge Park and The Old Mill, offer excellent but different views. For superb timber furniture, Port Lincoln's world-renowned Constantia Designer Craftsmen on Proper Bay Rd offer a guided tour, which reveals the creative processes involved from the raw timber state to finished pieces. There are several museums in Port Lincoln; the Axel Stenross Maritime Museum centres on the workshop and home of Axel Stenross, a Finnish boat builder who established his business here in the 1920s. Three small museums are located in Flinders Park; Mill Cottage Museum features artefacts from the early days of settlement; the Settler's Cottage Museum houses local memorabilia; nearby is the Rose-Wal Memorial Shell Museum. The MB Kotz Collection of Stationary Engines and the Step'n Back Relic Collection are 2 private museums of farming and folk memorabilia. In the old Railway Station at Railway Pl, is the Railway Museum. Tours of the Seahorse Farm, which supplies the aquarium market, can be booked through the visitor information centre.
