Tumby Bay is one of only three places to see the Marine Sea Emblem of SA diving for a glimpse of the Leafy Seadragon is well worth the effort. Away from the beach, there are many things to keep you occupied: walking trails and boardwalks, bird watching, lookouts, picnic and barbeque areas, museums, art and craft galleries, tennis, cycling, lawn bowls, cricket, football and more.
Scenic half and full day drives into the heart of the district feature flora and fauna with colours as varied as the seasons. Enjoy the rolling Koppio Hills with magnificent gum trees and prolific birdlife. Tumby Bay and Port Neill are attractive coastal towns, well equipped with a range of services and accommodation.
You can relax and spoil yourself with coffee, breakfast, lunch and evening meals in the bakery, cafés or hotels. Whatever you choose to do or wherever you stay you can be assured of a memorable experience.
