The Eyre Peninsula is a vast expanse of pristine coastline, clear water, rugged landscapes and abundant native plant and animal life. The Eyre Peninsula's dramatic beauty offers tourists a kaleidoscope of vistas � a real treat for photographers, walkers, painters and scenic drive lovers. With its limestone cliffs, granite boulders and spectacular beaches, the coastline of the Eyre Peninsula really is a destination in itself.Fishing is the heartbeat of this area. Along with angling comes a love of the ocean, many marine related activities, and a truly amazing amount of great quality fresh seafood. Whyalla, on the western flank of Spencer Gulf, boasts of 300+ days of sunshine per year and is often referred to as the place where the outback meets the sea. Activities that are not to be missed here include Onesteel Steelworks tour, the Whyalla Maritime Museum, Tanderra Craft Village, and for a relaxed BBQ the Whyalla Wetlands is perfect. Another seaside fishing town is Cowell, where you'll find a wonderful B&B in Schultz Farm, which is certainly worthy of staying a night or so. Ensure that you check out the Cowell Jade Province, where gemstones are found in a unique variety of colours and patterns.
