Great Places To Visit - Tumby Bay South Australia.

Nestled on the S.A. coast about 50kms from Port Lincoln S.A., is the little town of Tumby Bay.  It's a quaint little fishing village.

Crayfish are very popular and expensive I suppose because 95% of crays are exported to Asia!!! Anyway as we had crayfish for Christmas at our nephews (he shouted) we decided that would do us! The Esplanade is lovely here. Beach front, then grass beneath tall pine trees, then the main street and shops! What's not to like. Oh and the pier on the Esplanade has a designated swimmi...
