Street Art and Sea Breezes
We stopped into Tumby Bay before hitting the bustle of Port Lincoln, and it turned out to be a calm, creative little gem on the coast.
The jetty is closed, but it still offers some fantastic photo opportunities. Framed by changing skies and crystal-clear water, its long wooden frame stretches gracefully into the bay. We weren’t the only ones snapping away, trying to capture the perfect angle.
Tumby Bay’s street art was the real surprise. Bright murals and clever designs peek out from laneways and shop walls, each adding colour and character to this relaxed coastal town. We spent the morning just wandering, enjoying the way the town feels like an open-air gallery.
Later, we took a short detour inland to Yeldulknie Weir. This peaceful spot once supplied the town’s water and now makes for a lovely walk, with big skies stretching overhead. It’s quiet, scenic, and just the kind of place we like to stumble upon.
Tumby Bay gave us a slow start to this stretch of the coast, full of soft light, sea air, and a splash of unexpected creativity.
