Visitors can swim in the shallow waters of the Whyalla Foreshore and there is a swimming enclosure in the deeper marina waters. It’s also a popular spot for fishers who catch tommy ruff, garfish, squid, blue swimmer crabs and some whiting species off the jetty and Whyalla hosts the Australian Snapper Fishing Championships over the Easter long weekend. Crabbing is also popular at low tide.

Nearby, you can 4WD on the beach,  take a 12km hike along dunes, pebble beaches and bushland on the Freycinet Trail, or try your hand at real life treasure hunting – Geocaching – using a GPS device or smartphone with hundreds of geocaches in and around Whyalla and the Point Lowly area. You might not know that Whyalla’s Pt Bonython is the only place in the world where you can watch the annual breeding migration of the Australian Giant Cuttlefish ‘sepia apama’ to the Upper Spencer Gulf. From May to August you can see them in the shallows or by snorkelling or diving. You can also often see dolphins in the Whyalla area.

Take a walk to the Lowly Lighthouse and meander around the beaches to see wildlife and birds. The Stranded Shingle Beach Ridges along the western coastline of Upper Spencer Gulf are provisionally entered for inclusion as a State Heritage Place for their curious sorted, rounded to sub-angular pebbles and cobbles. And when you are done exploring the natural environment, there’s always the Whyalla Maritime Museum, impressive public art and a range of cafes and restaurants to keep you occupied.
