Waterloo Bay

Waterloo Bay is a large sheltered bay on the west coast of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, forming the waterfront of the town of Elliston within the District Council of Elliston. The bay is known for its sandy swimming beach, historic jetty and surrounding limestone cliffs. It forms part of the scenic Waterloo Bay Trail and Elliston coastal walks, offering protected waters for swimming and fishing in an otherwise exposed coastline.

Visitors can expect a wide, sheltered sandy bay with calm waters suitable for swimming and paddling, backed by the Elliston foreshore and town. The bay features a historic timber jetty used for fishing, a foreshore reserve with lawns and picnic areas, and dramatic limestone cliffs to the north and south. The Waterloo Bay Trail runs along the clifftops with lookouts, sculptures and ocean views. The setting is open and natural, with coastal vegetation and views across the Southern Ocean.
