Things To Do, Seafood And Murphy's Haystacks In Streaky Bay, South Australia

The relatively small coastal town of Streaky Bay, on the western side of the Eyre Peninsula, is one of South Australia’s emerging regions. Perfect for beach house rental or choose from country cottages, holiday houses with pool and farmhouses for rent. An enticing mosaic of pristine natural wonders, endless sandy beaches, countless fishing spots, spectacular coastline, fine cafes, pop-up food vans and great markets, Streaky Bay has a character all its own. 'Streaky', like much of the Eyre Peninsula, is most famous for its delectable ocean fare including abalone, whiting, blue swimmer crabs and oysters to name a few, but foodies can’t overlook the region’s incredible lamb, pork and honey, nor the extensive barley and wheat crops seen dotted across the local landscape. There are innumerable beaches around Streaky Bay, book some waterfront accommodation on Search and Stay and explore as many as you can, to find which one suits you best. Perlubie, Doctors Beach, Haslam, Back Beach, Tractor Beach, Granites, Smooth Pool and Surfers Beach.

The pink, massive, coarsely granular rock consisting mostly of quartz and orthoclase, this unique form of pillars and boulders dates back 100,000 years.  These ancient wind-worn inselbergs (the German word for island mountain) are a must for photographers both professional and amateur, especially at sunset. Explore fascinating stone haystacks and enjoy a packed lunch in the picnic area.
