Moonta

Moonta is a picturesque National Heritage town, overflowing with Cornish culture and steeped in rich history.

Walk the main street of Moonta, sample scrumptious traditional pasties and witness the Cornish architecture in all its glory. Get lost in a sea of festivities at the Kernewek Lowender festival - the largest Cornish celebration in the world - which is held every second year and not to be missed. Get hands-on at the Moonta Mines Museum as your guide takes you through what Moonta was like in the heyday of copper mining.

Just 3 kilometres away takes you to the coast at Moonta Bay. Enjoy a stroll on the white sands of this beautiful beach or along the jetty which has its own safely enclosed salt water pool. Let all your worries get washed away by the pristine waters of the ocean. Kids will love Splash Town - a free community water park located right on the Moonta Bay foreshore. Head a little further along the coast to the Port Hughes Tavern and tuck into a delicious meal while enjoying water views.
