Whyalla

You can drive or walk to the top. There are covered picnic facilities and lookouts when you get there.

Dolphins often follow the boats back into the marina in the afternoon, and come right up to the boat ramp.

This museum's collection includes the World War II-era corvette HMAS Whyalla which is displayed out of the water; the museum's website labels her "the largest landlocked ship in the state".

There are three main choices of swimming locations in Whyalla. The main town beach has long stretches of white sand and warm water, and is very much affected by the tide, with sandbars up to a kilometre out to sea at low tide. The protection of the gulf means there is no significant surf. The marina has a swimming enclosure with a pontoon, with deep water, but no beach to speak of. North of the marina is a beach often preferred by locals. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the other swimming spots, but it has a sharper drop off, so if wading through knee deep water isn't your thing, this may be a better choice.

Tours of the OneSteel steelworks are conducted at 9:30am several times a week. Check times and book at the Visitors Information Centre

Fishing charters are available, or you can fish off the pier by the marina. Whyalla is known for its snapper fishery.
