Overview

Wool Bay is a coastal locality on the southern Yorke Peninsula, situated between Stansbury and Coobowie and about 220 km north‑west of Adelaide by road (just over 60 km across Gulf St Vincent). The protected beach is a focal point for residents, with a permanently moored pontoon, sun shelters and a concrete boat ramp maintained by the local progress association. Marine life is abundant – dolphins, stingrays and evening fur‑seal feedings are regular sights, creating a relaxed, nature‑focused lifestyle.

The historic Wool Bay jetty, built in 1882 and later extended for the lime‑burning era, serves anglers and scuba divers, offering squid and tommy ruff catches and a leafy seadragon population beneath the structure. A heritage‑listed lime kiln remains as a reminder of the town’s former wool, grain and lime export trade. Road links connect Wool Bay to nearby centres and wider Yorke Peninsula, and its proximity to Adelaide makes weekend getaways easy.
