Things to do
The Yorke Peninsula offers you beautiful sceneries, secluded beaches, charming townships, and outdoor adventure, and it is located on Adelaide’s doorstep. You will experience the Mediterranean climate, white sandy beaches, and a spectacular national park. You will find it all on the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia’s most serene and accessible holiday destination.
Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park is only a 52-minute drive away from Yorketown. It is a perfect place for camping and surfing. You could also do bush-walking to explore the park, with trails ranging from 30-minute strolls to 4-hour treks. It is lovely for day visits and a paradise for beach lovers.
You could also visit the main attraction in Yorketown, which is the Salt Lakes. It is more than 200 salt lakes that surround the town and have been mined for their salt. They are vulnerable to pink algae and, thus, can acquire a gentle and stunning pink hue under specific climate conditions.
