Edithburgh Tidal Pool — Attraction in Edithburgh

The tidal pool was unique and super fun. Also free! Protected young swimmers from sharp rocks, surprise creatures, or large waves found in ocean swimming at Edithburgh. It was in a beautiful location and grass areas for relaxing and picnic-ing nearby. We stayed 3 hours. Left when the wind picked-up, and the tide began to come in. On a still, warm day, this is a wonderful way to relax, cool down and have fun.

A beautiful little coastal gem on the Yorke Peninsula. The tidal pool sits right beside the open ocean, so you still get that wild, salty feel without battling the waves. The water is crystal clear, the views at sunset are incredible, and the whole area is well looked after.

Highly...
