"Full of history. Amazing scenery. Truly one of SA's best kept secrets. We'll be back soon" (guest). "Growing up we went to Marion bay every weekend. It is still one of those magical places" Laura Csortan, 'Great Outdoors' The Advertiser 22 July 2003

Marion Bay is a small seaside settlement on the boundary of Innes National Park, which occupies approx 9141 hectares at the very south-western tip of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.

Yorke Peninsula is a popular holiday mecca for southern Australians and renowned for its great fishing, beautiful beaches and friendly, hospitable local people.

The region at the southern tip is perhaps the most spectacular of all. It is relatively isolated, completely unspoilt, and Innes National Park is one of the world's few remaining areas of remnant scrubland. The power of the great Southern Ocean has created stunning white sandy beaches, rocky headlands and sculptured wavecut platforms. The region is home to abundant bird and animal life, marine life, and flora.

Marion Bay is 280 km from Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. It is approximately three hours easy drive, with almost straight bitumen roads all the way.

Because the region has ocean on three sides the climate is very moderate. It is also an area of low rainfall, so it can be calm, warm and dry even in Winter. And if it is windy, a sheltered spot on the other side of the peninsula is only a short drive away. An ideal holiday spot all year!

Marion Bay is your perfect accommodation base. You can enjoy some of the very best coast and bushland experiences nature can offer, then relax completely in comfort and style.

Marion Bay Holiday Villas are well signposted and easy to find, however a detailed map will be sent with your booking confirmation.

When planning your visit, why not consider a round trip including the Barossa or Clare Valley (superb wines), the historic copper mining region around Moonta (northern Yorke Peninsula), then on your return, the heritage fishing villages on the peninsula's east coast.
