Tumby Bay Mangrove Boardwalk

The Tumby Bay Mangrove Boardwalk is a timber boardwalk trail on the foreshore at Tumby Bay on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It winds through a protected intertidal mangrove ecosystem of Avicennia marina along Spencer Gulf. The attraction is notable for its accessible nature experience, interpretive signage explaining mangrove ecology, and opportunities for birdwatching and photography in a tranquil coastal wetland setting close to the town centre and jetty.

Visitors can expect an elevated timber boardwalk winding through dense grey mangroves and tidal flats on the Tumby Bay foreshore. The walk offers close views of mangrove roots, mudflats, and Spencer Gulf waters, with interpretive signs explaining the ecology and importance of the mangrove system. The setting is quiet and natural, suitable for short walks, birdwatching, and photography, with seating areas and views across the inlet. The boardwalk is close to the town centre, jetty and foreshore parklands.
