Beaches
Beaches near Port Lincoln holiday rentals
Beaches are common by holiday rentals in this coastal town, but not every beach offers the same experience. Town Beach is a mostly calm beach that’s popular for families with children and beachgoers looking to relax. This beach also features a jetty where visitors can fish among the seagrass meadows. Squeaky Beach can be an ideal spot for surfers, but it isn’t suitable for swimmers due to strong rips and more difficult access. If you’re interested in fishing, however, there are several well-placed rock platforms to fish from. You may also want to head towards Porter Bay. While the beach there isn’t suitable for swimming, you can book a charter for scuba diving or shark-cage diving.
