A must visit if in the Point Lincon area is what is known as Whalers Way. It is about 30km south of Port Lincon.It is privatly owned guess that is way is it so unspoilt as State or National Parks have not got their hands on it...YET..Before you go you have to go to the info centre in Point Lincon as it is $30 ( when we were there it was ) You can stay out there also, the best unspoilt coastal destination one would ever dream that still exists.
Can concur with that as my home is still Port Lincoln......and I have been down Whalers Way numerous times and the owners are personal friends of mine....Theakstones..their great grandfather provided timber to the Government in the early days and was awarded this land for services provided..and because noone else really wanted it back in those days as most unsuitable for grazing which is why it remains pristine wilderness....you can see seals from the cliff tops...W/Pointers, numerous Whales as they pass/migrate...the original whaling Station location is sign posted with full history before you reach the Whalers Way entry gates......apart from the seals I guess its why W/Pointers keep returning....have been shark attacks on surfers there....great sandy fishing beach you can drive down to and on....just before the entrance to Whalers Way gates....you can pick up keys from the Visitor Centre for small fee.....I have also fished from my half cabin below those treacherous cliffs....whiting,salmon,etc etc....absolutely the most spectactular pristine scenery you will ever see....and I have seen much of Australia having lived in 5 states.... a must for any trip to Southern Eyre Peninsula....plus the usual attractions Port Lincoln offers with the largest fishing fleet in the Southern Hemisphere based there....and the varied seafood is fantastic.......Hoo Roo

It is one of those places that has a must see, we found for the price of the entry fee, it was cheaper than staying in a National Park,as the price is for the car and rig and for all on board,not like per person in the Parks.And the money is spent on the up keep of this once in a life time experiance.When we were there we had the whole place to our self. Despite all this history and geological significance it was not until 1969 that work was done to develop Whalers Way for the tourist to enter.The work done there led to its declaration as a historic reserve.....just remember to bring every thing with you as facilities .
