Coffin Bay

Had a great day today exploring the Coffin Bay area about 40kms from Port Lincoln. Famous for their oysters (Coffin Bay Oysters), they don’t let you down. We see them everywhere. We could even buy them in the butcher shop. Settled on “oyster” seafood curry for lunch. Delicious. We drove out through Coffin Bay National Park. You will see from the photos below how stunning it was.

Wild but stunning beaches...they are full of rips

  1. Funny I was just reading about Pure Coffin Bay Oysters in this month’s Country Style magazine and there you are. Sounds like a beautiful part of the world. Love the jetty.

  2. Hey guys, looks like a great trip, I’m soooo jealous. Ros I think you’ve found your calling, photography! Your photos are great, some of them look really arty.

  3. Great photos again, Ros. My sister lives on the next peninsular and her son-in law is a Cray fisherman, so I know all about the great seafood over there. Enjoy! Der!!

    1. You guys should be out here too. You would love it. Forget air conditioning (and boating for just a short while !!!?????). I know, you are just like Mal Glenn, BOATS, BOATS, BOATS!! X Ros
