Pondalowie Bay

Pondalowie Bay is a remote sandy bay on the southwestern tip of Yorke Peninsula within Innes National Park near Inneston, South Australia. Known for its consistent surf break, white sand and rugged coastal scenery, it is a popular destination for surfing, fishing and camping. The bay is part of a protected national park landscape with historic Inneston ruins nearby and offers a natural, undeveloped beach experience on the Southern Ocean coastline.

Visitors can expect a wide, sandy bay backed by low dunes and coastal scrub within Innes National Park. The beach is exposed to Southern Ocean swell with a well-known surf break, clear water and rocky headlands at either end. Facilities are limited to the adjacent Pondalowie Bay Campground. The setting is natural and undeveloped with no shops or commercial development, suitable for beach walking, surfing, fishing, photography and wildlife viewing. Access is via unsealed park roads.
