Port Lincoln S.A. Beautiful sunsets, delicious seafood, great coastline walks.

It's hard not to like Port Lincoln in South Australia. After all it's said to be the seafood capital of Australia, so if like us you like a bit of fresh fish, prawns, scallops, oysters or crayfish, you can find plenty of it here and more. Every cafe, restaurant, or pub you go into for a meal is guaranteed to have some seafood on the menu. Delicious!

The area was originally named Beautiful Valley, as was the township of Wilmington, but the named was changed to Wilmington due to confusion with a local property by the same name. So the town is Wilmington, the local Cafe and Caravan Park are Beautiful Valley... They have a great service station/grocery store/hardware store, come everything store at Wilmington also. The prices are reasonably...
