Coffin Bay - Coffin Bay
Coffin Bay township is located west of Port Lincoln on the shores of one of the most beautiful estuaries in Australia. The visitor is offered an unparalleled scenic view of vast expanses of meandering waterways with bays, channels and inlets providing a variety of fishing to excite both the amateur and professional fisherman. It is an unspoilt family holiday retreat, so much so that its permanent population of around 430 swells to over 2,000 in summer, an indication of its popularity. Coffin Bay provides the ultimate escape from big city pressures. There are very few locations more ideally suited for fishing (rock, surf, angling and boat), or as safe for boating, sailing, swimming, water-skiing, skin-diving and wind-surfing as Coffin Bay.
Accommodation is provided by way of a hotel/motel, holiday units and cabins and a caravan park. Camping is also permitted within the nearby National Park areas for those who prefer a wilderness environment.
Coffin Bay also boasts a yacht club, nine hole golf course and bowls green. An airstrip located on the outskirts of Coffin Bay caters to a small but increasing number of charter and private aircraft.
Renowned for its recreational fishing. Charter trips may be arranged to the offshore game fishing areas. Boat owners are catered for by four concrete launching ramps which are floodlit at night and protected by groynes for easier boat handling. The Yacht Club jetty mooring area is popular with trailer-sailors.
