Whalers Way

Whalers Way is a privately owned coastal reserve at the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, about 35 kilometres southwest of Port Lincoln in the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula. The 14-kilometre coastal drive traverses rugged limestone cliffs, caves, blowholes and secluded bays overlooking the Southern Ocean. Notable for dramatic scenery, wildlife and historic whaling associations, it is accessed by permit and offers lookouts, short walks and photography opportunities in a remote natural setting.

Visitors can expect a remote, unsealed 14km coastal track with a series of signposted lookouts over high limestone cliffs, sea caves, blowholes, offshore islands and surf beaches of the Southern Ocean. The landscape is open coastal heath with low scrub, with kangaroos, emus and seabirds often seen. There are short walks to cliff edges and viewing platforms, no shops or built attractions, and a sense of isolation. Access is by private vehicle with a pre-purchased permit, and visitors drive between lookouts at their own pace.
