Grab a rod from the rack and catch yellow fin at high tide. Situated just a block from the boat ramp, follow your GPS 12 nautical miles to the Sir Joseph Banks Group of Islands, teeming with King George Whiting, squid, salmon, seals and sea eagles all year round.
The front verandah is a place to watch the ocean, read a book, or chat with community floating by. A playground at the end of the street, plus safe shallow swimming lagoon beachfront means fun for your precious ones and is perfect for kayaking. For wave action, head further along the shore and bring your boogie boards.
Retreat for long peaceful beach walks and feel the sand between your toes, as you search for seashells in solitude.
Walk straight through to the foreshore and take the sealed trail past the yacht club to the jetty, another playground and town centre, with two hotels, supermarkets, bakery, pharmacy and café, framed by lawned areas and pristine beach to relax and take in gorgeous Tumby Bay.

The shack had everything we needed for our stay from cooking utensils and condiments to bathroom supplies. We caught quite a few tommies off the jetty which are great for smoking. The beds were so comfortable and warm. One of us is an early riser and was able to take some great pictures of the sunrise.
Really enjoyed my stay. Charming shack with everything you need, and very close to the water. Bed was really comfortable. Kitchen facilities far better than I expected. Thanks
