A short, sheltered jetty at Coobowie popular with families for crabbing, squidding and easy fishing.
The little jetty at Coobowie reaches out over the shallow, seagrass-fringed water of the peninsula's south-east coast. It is a classic family spot, the kind of place where children learn to drop a crab net and haul up their first blue swimmer.
The sheltered bay here is one of the best on Yorke for raking and netting crabs in the warmer months, and the jetty itself is a reliable producer of squid and the occasional whiting. The whole scene is unhurried, framed by the quiet streets of the Coobowie hamlet.
It is an easy, accessible stop close to Edithburgh and Yorketown, ideal for a relaxed afternoon by the water.
