Port Lincoln is a town in the Eyre Peninsula region of South Australia close to the Lincoln National Park. Although tourism is important to the area, this is a working city, and you are just as likely to see trawlers in the marina as you are luxury yachts or tourist charters.

Visit a tuna farm and enjoy hand feeding, seeing fish from the underwater viewing platform or get in for a swim. This two hour tour is a fascinating insight into the history of the tuna industry and includes a taste of sashimi.
Underwater viewing, two pools, feeding and swimming. Free coffee and tea, and cookies and sausages available for purchase. No tuna available here though, so this may be the place for those who are more into watching them than eating them.
A small cafe with outdoor dining specialising in Italian-style cafe dishes along with a view of the coastline.
As the name of the cafe suggests, this is an authentic French cafe nestled in the middle of the central business district.
