Overview

Coffin Bay sits on the southeastern shore of its namesake bay at the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula, about 46 km south‑west of Port Lincoln. The town’s coastal setting underpins a lifestyle built around water recreation – boating, sailing, swimming, water‑skiing, skindiving, wind‑surfing and a range of fishing opportunities – and draws more than 4,000 visitors during holiday periods. Oyster farming adds a quiet, marine‑based industry, while the adjacent Coffin Bay National Park and the nearby Lake Jessie provide additional outdoor attractions.

Housing in Coffin Bay blends permanent residences with a historic “shack” leasing area, reflecting its origins as a private town laid out in 1957 and its long‑standing holiday‑home culture. Road access is via Coffin Bay Road, linking the community to Port Lincoln and the wider district, and the former BHP tramway (now removed) recalls the town’s industrial past. Local governance is provided by the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula, with representation in the state electorate of Flinders and the federal Division of Grey.
