YORKE PENINSULA

Lazy days under the beach umbrella. Cold beers around a barbecue sizzling with the day's catch. Historic wooden jetties that lead right out to where the fish are biting. And sunsets over boat-filled bays. The toughest thing about a trip to Yorke Peninsula is dragging yourself off the beach. But there's plenty to see "on-shore" ... like kicking up your heels at the world's largest Cornish festival; wandering through time in historic copper mining towns; meeting entrepreneurs and enthusiasts on the Yorke Peninsula Home Grown Trail; strolling along coastal trails and hiking through rugged bushland at Innes National Park.

With more than 600 kilometres of coastline and a host of sunny seaside towns, "Yorkes" (Yorke Peninsula) is much loved by South Australians. And many of its best beaches are just a couple of hours from Adelaide.

Yorke Peninsula is the perfect escape and has an array of accommodation to suit everyone from a lazy beach shack holiday to romantic bed and breakfasts, caravan parks, hotels, motels, farm stays, heritage cottages, luxury apartments and villas and of course, camping.
