Stenhouse Bay

Stenhouse Bay is a historic coastal bay and beach on the southern tip of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, located within Innes National Park near the former township of Inneston. It is notable for its dramatic limestone cliffs, sheltered bay, and ruins of a former gypsum-loading jetty and settlement. Established as a gypsum port from 1913, the site now offers natural coastal scenery combined with industrial heritage interpretation.

Visitors can expect a sheltered bay with a small beach, clear turquoise water, limestone cliffs and the skeletal remains of the historic Stenhouse Bay jetty and gypsum loader extending into the sea. The area is set within Innes National Park with open coastal heath, lookouts, walking trails and information signs interpreting the mining history. Facilities are basic with a car park, toilets and lookout platform. Activities focus on sightseeing, photography, beach walking, snorkeling and fishing around the jetty ruins.
