Plan Book Travel Australia

Historic wooden jetties that lead right out to where the fish are biting. And stunning sunsets over boat-filled bays. The toughest thing about a trip to Yorke Peninsula is dragging yourself off the beach.

But there's plenty to see "off-shore" … like kicking up your heels at the world's largest Cornish festival; wandering through time in historic copper mining towns; meeting entrepreneurs and enthusiasts on the Yorke Peninsula Home Grown Trail; and hiking through rugged bushland at Innes National Park. With more than 600 kilometres of coastline and a host of sunny seaside towns, "Yorkes" is much loved by local South Australians.

Stay at Innes National Park in rustic heritage cottages, or camp. Walk some of the state's wildest coastal trails. Follow the interpretative trail and see why about 40 ships were wrecked here. Look for the rare and secretive great western whipbird and the southern right whale. Great surfing, fishing and diving.

Visitors to the rugged Yorke Peninsula region in South Australia, North East and East of Adelaide will find it easy to explore the pristine coastline and celebrate the history of the Narungga people who still reside in there.

The region has a good selection of accommodation, hotels, tours and attractions for your holiday. Tourist information can be found at busier tourist towns such as Maitland and the Copper Triangle towns of Kadina and Moonta and this page on planbooktravel is a useful resource for articles, reviews, stories, photos and blogs for the Yorke Peninsula region or South Australia.
