Port MacDonnell

It is easy to see why Port MacDonnell is quickly becoming one of SA’s tourist hot spots and a favourite destination for surfers, anglers, swimmers, hikers and cave divers.

Home to the largest Rock Lobster fleet in Australia and known by anglers for its excellent sport fishing, record size Tuna are caught in the clear deep waters. Why not experience your own deep sea fishing adventure with Port MacDonnell Fishing Charters? While fishing is a huge focus of the area, the fascinating crystal pools, coastal scenery, clean beaches and rich maritime history attract visitors all year-round. The Bayside Festival is held in January and the Tuna and Sport Fish Tournament is in May which are popular annual events.

In the heart of town is the Maritime Museum that tells the story of Port MacDonnell’s maritime history and how this stretch of coast is littered with shipwrecks and tales of bravery. Here photos and salvaged artefacts bring the old days to life.

There is a great range of accommodation in the township; the Victoria Hotel has rooms as well as the award winning ‘Shipwreck Bistro’ where you can taste some of the local seafood. The Foreshore Caravan Park has fantastic facilities including group accommodation and is located right on the beach. Bayside Holiday Apartments offer affordable fully self contained accommodation or Corbell Cottage is a romantic retreat for two.

Nearby Ewen and Piccaninnie Ponds have crystal clear waters – snorkel on the surface to see amazing plant life underwater or go cave diving into the limestone filtered waters of deep caverns. These ponds attract cave divers from all over the world The Allendale East General Store, located on the road to Port MacDonnell is open 7 days, has clean divers air, wet suits for sale and hire, fuel, groceries, fishing gear, take-away food and just about everything you need on your travels.

Port MacDonnell is located only 28 kilometres south of Mount Gambier and is one of South Australia’s best kept secrets………but not for long!
