Port Vincent

Like many towns on the Yorke Peninsula, Port Vincent is an old port. If you looked at the wooden jetty (built in 1877) back in its heyday you would see men wrestling bags and piles of grain onto ships destined for Port Adelaide. Look today, and you will see men wrestling with big fish trying to get them back up onto the jetty. You will also see kids splashing in the sheltered waters of the bay and swimming out to the pontoon, people lounging on the white sands of the beach and visitors taking in the spectacular views from the clifftop lookouts and walking trails along the coastline.

Gala Day is held on every New Year's Day and is a great way to see this port town in full swing. Boating, fishing, watersports, divine seafood and activities for the kids, this annual celebration is what Port Vincent is all about.

The town sees a huge swell in population in the summer months due to its reputation as a friendly holiday destination and the marina full of different coloured boats and yachts is a sight to see. Well worth a visit, Port Vincent is guaranteed to be a hit with the whole family.
